Jigsaw puzzles are a bit like buses - they seem to come along in threes! We found the first of our Cold War Steve puzzles back in May, then discovered another in July, and now we've found a third, from 2020 when Covid-19 struck. The others were secondhand and used, but this one, although bought from a charity shop, was sealed. I can perhaps understand why: it's a busy scene with a shallow depth of field (I think that's how it's termed) so the tiny figures in the background are blurred. The previous owner was probably put off by this, and we would've been too, if it hadn't been for the assorted piece shapes.
Not the most enjoyable of puzzles, but one we're glad we made. Now to find the rest of the eight available in his online shop...
Another Goodwill find for $14, different trip a few months ago. Contrast electric blue on the back side of the tie belt and piping at wrists, along side skirt button placket, and on epaulet detail. Just waiting for it to warm up a bit here so I can wear it.
