Purchasing Individual Pieces

Hey I recently bought a chess set from ChessBazaar and I didn't pay attention to the knights and thought it was the Dubrovnik knights. It arrived and it was something completely different. Does anybody here know where to purchase specific pieces to replace these knights.

 

Thanks!

I don't quite understand: Did you order the wrong set, or did they send the wrong set, or are you just dissatisfied with the "unicorn" knights? 

I just made a mistake I selected the wrong set I purchased the Zagreb set instead of the Dubrovnik one it looked super similar the bishop etc....

Buy them from Chess Bazaar, obviously.

@ SPZ97; If you would like to go with a different type of finish with a little more in pricing you could visit this site for a Dubrovnik set. They have one in plain boxwood and ebonized as well which is less expensive. This company makes custom sets too, you could order this Dubrovnik version in Sheesham and boxwood if you'd prefer to go that route.

Yes, it makes sense to purchase Dubrovnik individually. The dubrovnik's knight will not blend with the zagreb pieces. CB does run quite aggressive offers from time to time. Keep an eye on them!

Best of luck!
