I had this puzzle as kid. I even remember that it was a Christmas present to me. I assembled it many times, but at some point we got rid of it, probably selling it at a yard sale. For all I know, this could be the actual copy that I had.

 

I saw it at the thrift store and the memories flooded back. It wasn't until I got it home that I noticed a note scratched onto the cover: "Three pieces missing." Damn! I probably would have bought it anyway because of the sentiment. But then I discovered that since then, two more pieces had escaped. Double damn!

 

Oh well. It's still a good Springbok puzzle, and one that you don't often find.
