This puzzle is in fantastic condition. All twelve of the points are still pointy, thanks to the robustness of its maple tips. The purple hue of the bois de rose has darkened over the years so that it looks closer to ebony now, yet it still shimmers purple in the light when you look closely.

Overall the fit and finish are perfect. If there are any flaws, then I didn't notice.

This puzzle perfectly matches (same wood combo) the Rosebud puzzle for sale so I recommend anyone buying this one should also buy that one because they make a great matching set of two of Stewart Coffin's finest puzzle designs, and some of my own finest craftsmanship
