Description
A classic coffin design. Six pieces assemble in a co-ordinate motion and the puzzle opens and closes like a rosebud. It can be assembled in other configurations. The movement on this copy is good though a little tight to begin with when the pieces have greatest contact with each other. It comes complete with the re-moveable retaining pin which allows it to be almost fully opened without collapse. I am not 100% certain but believe this to be a Wenge/Mahogany version made by Pelikan in 2005.
I've been unable to spot a maker's mark and, without a jig, I've not been brave enough to fully disassemble this one!

- Shipping Instructions
-
Shipping will be calculated and charged at cost after the auction ends. As a broad guideline I would expect shipping to the US to be around $30-35 for a fully insured, priority service. Combining shipping will add 5 or 6 USD per additional kg and around 1% of final bid price for insurance.
Payment by paypal is accepted but payment by wise/bank transfer will be preferred to minimise fees and improve exchange rates.
