Hello, I am trying to find a wooden chess set that has both contrasting finials and Bishops with the mitre slash. The Zagreb is the closest I have found but it does not have the correct style of Bishop. If anyone could help me find this type of chess set, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Personaly I always liked contrasting finials on the pieces in the Zagreb/ Yugoslavian sets. However, I was always off put by those depresive downcast melloncoly looking knights. Until now I had not noticed the lack of a miter cut in the bishops, now I have something else to dislike about that style. 

Now then, the set ifekali posted above, is much cooler looking than the Yugoslavian sets but only the bishops and not the royals have contrasting fenials.

What I am looking out for is a Zagreb with same color ball filials on the King and Queen.
