Excalibur original Gary Foshee metal puzzle

This is one of the original puzzles made by Gary Foshee to exchange at IPP19 in London in 1999. Designed by Gary.  And probably made by Gary although that is not verified on the paperwork.  It’s in its original velvet bag with the tag attached by Gary as given in the exchange.

Goal: The puzzle is to remove King Arthur’s sword from the block.
The puzzle is made from Aluminium with steel and brass pieces.
Size: The base is 38mm x 32mm and its 75mm tall to the top of the sword.

Condition: Very Good. Looks like the only playing its ever had is Brian testing it.  I did a complete solve before listing and it works as expected.

General Information:

This is Brian Young from Mr Puzzle in Australia selling some doubles as a result of merging Ray Mead’s collection into my own existing collection.

This puzzle has been in Ray’s collection since he exchanged with Gary in 1999.
