Black Dubrovnik II on eBay
Thanks very much cgrau ! But i think i will buy The Dubrovnik II mapple and brown 4' size at Noj. If he has time for make it this year. also i wait next year. I search original dubrovnik too.
I own three NOJ sets. A red 4" Dubro 2. The very first Dubro 1950 they produced (which I bought from Jonas). And a red BCE Eastern. I love them all. superb craftsmanship. Well worth whatever the wait.
Hi my friend ! Can you tell me the diffrence (inches -cm) between your Bishop Dubrovnik 1950 and one Knight of Dubrovnik II 4' ? Can you send me a photo where you steps one next to the other? or when a photo where you put them together these two chess pieces? Thank you very much!

Ben, I'll try to get to this in the next few days.
Noj is Jonas ?
No. Jonas is Ifekali. He designed the BCE set and NOJ produces the high end version of it. You can see the initials GN on my BCE set. Those are Gregor Novak's initials, and he runs NOJ, which is a small family business. Jonas is Jonas Znidaršič, a Slovenian comedian, actor, journalist, television personality, host of the Slovenian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, poker player, billiard champion, and chess designer and aficianado. He used to post a wonderful blog that really focused on Dubrovnik sets, but also contained much more. Very well done and very entertaining. But like Mike said, Jonas has left the building. I've read some reports in Slovenian outlets that Jonas has sold everything and become an ascetic.
