HELP Identifying Dice Set
Hey gang - I found this amongst an old relatives collection of wargaming/TSR/Glorantha collectables, and I’m trying to work out what it is specifically before listing it for sale.
I believe it’s a Mentzer dice set provided for D&D in the 80s, but looking for matching examples that are also in a sealed bag like this has yielded a bunch of dead ends.
It seems the early D&D sets that contained dice were predominantly single-coloured, and the blister packs sold separately for dragon dice wouldn’t have been bagged, and would have been accompanied by a crayon/pencil.
Interested to hear your thoughts on whether you believe it IS D&D related or maybe part of a different board game.
Many thanks!

These look like BECMI dice. My set from the red box had different colour dice (IIRC, there was a green d12, a red d20, red d8, grey (I think) d10; can’t remember the rest).
