Gravity Well by Harry Nielsen made by Bits and Pieces

Gravity Well

It is a nice (though difficult) take-apart puzzle. Your goal is to disassemble the whole shape into three rings and a core, and then to reassemble the shape. Accoridng to the net it is a rare puzzle and fairly coveted, by the prices on recent auctions I can only imagine they are correct.
