@Prophet_of_Chesslam It costed me $225 outright but since I had to make monthly payments. I was charged an extra $15. So $240 was the total I paid.
The Chess Empire is who I commissioned to make it.

The knight on your set is quite lovely. It reminds me of a graceful white swan, but with a beautiful mane. I've fallen in love with it. I hope you enjoy your set.
I do and thanks for your comments. The Knight design is from the Leningrad Series from HoS. I got the idea from a video game called Watch Dogs. I liked the set in the game that I wanted something similar to that set.

You can see that other sets inspired it and that's cool. Whoever created that watch dog set has a beautiful eye. I hope you enjoy the (expletive) out of this set.
I'd love to have a Dubrovnik set like this with those bishops and knights. The only thing I would ever change is the pawns. I'm in love with the chunky pawns of to the Ultimate chess pieces.

@MikeDoolzinski Thanks for your comment. I love the Ultimate Chess Pieces as well except for the Knight design. It is an ugly Knight in my opinion.

That's a cool set. Alot of my favorite chess pieces are from the Russian sets.
A nice set!
This is a great improvement of the already beautiful leningrad set, in wich the bishop seems to be the only week spot. Great idea. It makes it look like a more refined, christianized take on a zagreb.
Finally have the replacement Bishop. Now I can present to you a one of a kind chess set.
Here are the real photos of the set.
The board I am using in the photos. Is HoS's full color vinyl board in Mahogany & Maple print.
