Very interesting! Is that Slovenian? Seems like google translate did a good job there.
Dubrovnik state of the art and heritage
Sort:
Still, to me the one at pic #2 is the ultimate chess set, but you can get a bit tired of seeing it everywhere. Besides, using a Dubrovnik would make me feel more a real chess player. :P

I found the translation virtually incomprehensible.

I agree. It's the ultimate chess set.
I read the spanish traslation only which is quite good, I didn't checked the english one and asumed it was going to be the same, sorry.
Ok, I should be ashamed! 
If that's Slovenian, this is your man: http://www.chess.com/members/view/MSC157
Nothing wrong with the German Knight but, it dosn't look quite right with a Dubrovnik set IMO. There were no photo's of the original Dubrovnik Knight with this set. What is the cost in USD + shipping for this set.?

The big knights in the photos are a replica of the knight used. A very simplistic and thin Dubro Knight.
I have bought these sets in MUBA chess shop:
I think there are several places to buy them but I have had good experiences with them.
Another place is Drazic's

Maybe most variety, but it is more dificult to buy from there. IMHO.

Hello,
Just something to share about Dubrovnik sets.
I own a pair of CB Dubrovniks (Crimson and Sheesham).
They are great collector sets, but far away of the Noj.
In the last weeks I have purchased a pair of plastic ones through an slovenian shop. They are really great.
The reason because I purchased them is that I have seem them widely in Internet in any search related to croatian or slovenian chess.
It seems that they are used in most of the juvenile or junior tournaments.
They feel as sturdy and playable as the equivalent in Spain (next photo)
In spain there is a company (Indajesa) that makes the equivalent wood set. They are expensive but affordable.
Noj is too expensive, so I looked for alternatives.
It seems there is only a major manufacturer in wood for these countries, Kasa comerc (Caissa Commerce)
The sets are not top quality, but they are not bad to play. In fact, I own 3 of them.
Very sturdy and playable.
Two of them are like a dubro with a german knight, and the other has a knight more similar to the original one.
Yesterday I came to an intresting interview to the man who made them: Dusan Sekulic
It is not Noj, but I think it is very interesting info about the Dubrovnik heritage.

You can see the sets I own in the interview, so I won't post any more photo.
It is curious that he considers the Dubrovnik something different that stauton. I never thought about it, but I think he is right.
I hope you find it interesting
Best regards
