These are Chessbazaar pictures. It looks like their polished. I've ordered the set, will post pictures when I get it.

That sounds great Mike. I wonder how long the shipping will take from India I guess?

It's about four days from Chessbazaar to LA, when I ordered from them twice recently. : )

I spoke to Ram at ChessBazaar and he said the sets will also be done in a black finish and also a crimson finish at the same price.

The black finish sounds good.! I can't wait to see the knights face on.

Thanks Mike.! You might also want to start a new thread as well. This one is going to get lost in the woods.

Your right Frank, I will start a new thread. . BTW, on Monday Chess Bazaar will offer the Dubrovnik in a crimson stained boxwood.  As of yet, they have not posted any pictures of this set.  I'm anxious to see their pictures.

Here's a nice pic of Bobby Fisher playing David Bronstein in 1958 on a Dubrovnik Chess Set

I love the set, but for a 500 Euro price tag it's not even something I could entertain getting. To bad a plastic version isn't available. :)

The ChessBazaar sets are $119 including express free shipping to the U.S.
