Looking for a Ringschloss

Post by EMarx »

Hey

I'm looking for the not-quite-so-sought-after Ringschloss by Jean Claude Constantin.

I'm a puzzle collector based in the US dealing mainly with twisty/Rubik's type puzzles. My collection is ~500 pieces.

I'm also looking for any tricklocks of particular interest. PM if you have a ringschloss or any other trick locks for sale.

Thanks!

This lock was also called : Brass Ring Lock, made by Eureka. I'll have a look in my toyshop if they still have one? It seems out of stock in most shops on internet. :?

Nice find, but that looks like a 'copy' with a 'different' quality.
Be aware this eBay seller offers many 'cheap copies' of other products, including several hanayama cast puzzles. A very clear example is item 271120650691.
If you don't care about quality, fit & finish, or copyrights, then go ahead and buy it.

Thank you Lucie! That'd be great.

I've searched every available puzzle store before I posted on here and was unable to find it.

As for the fake, If in a week or two I don't find a real one, I suppose I'll buy it just for the trick. Even then I'd still be on the lookout for a real one. Thanks!

I pass there tomorrow, and wednesday I go to the coast, there is another good toyshop there, where they have the Eureka and Hanayama puzzles. 8-)

Yesterday I was at Wil Strijbos, and I saw this lock in good quality. Some even come with an interesting book about trick locks (in Chinese language).
It is a nice trick lock. You can contact Wil for availability and prices.
