Hint 1
Study the identification photograph and separate pieces with matching notch patterns.

Hint 3
Keep the partly assembled puzzle loose until the final locking piece is fitted.
How to use the preserved instructions
Lay the pieces out in the same orientation as the component key. Work through the numbered stages in order and keep the assembly loose until the final locking movement.
