I'd say that if you managed to open it then you should be able to close it again. Remember it's just a matter of doing the opening steps in reverse.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926503916202872968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754019517313597006.post-68979148320399605602013-10-31T23:25:48.886+00:002013-10-31T23:25:48.886+00:00I got my King piece to open but can reassemble it....I got my King piece to open but can reassemble it. <br /><br />Is there a trick to doing this, or do I have a faulty piece?<br /><br />Thanks!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754019517313597006.post-51377230533959892702011-01-26T12:11:22.644+00:002011-01-26T12:11:22.644+00:00There are some great images on that first link Chr...There are some great images on that first link Chris!

Although it seems unlikely that it was ever reproduced in large numbers as they're so hard to find.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926503916202872968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754019517313597006.post-70980172838046184332011-01-20T14:45:29.668+00:002011-01-20T14:45:29.668+00:00Hello Oli, Great puzzle blog!!!

Here is a link to Jerry Slocum's puzzle museum, it's a java tour of some of his collection. If you enter his study look around near the window, there is the Queen puzzle and the Bishop puzzle side by side. If you click the Bishop puzzle it will give you a close up view of the puzzle Hope this helps!
