1$\begingroup$ I have one similar to this, but it doesn't have the little notches inside $\endgroup$– dcfyjOct 27, 2016 at 12:21

$\begingroup$ @YuryFedorov Is this a puzzle you possess? You took the photos? If so, could you share the measurements? $\endgroup$– AlenannoOct 27, 2016 at 13:13

This looks like a variation of Chen's 6 Board Burr #2. An easier variation even, as the 5th piece in your picture should be "whole" like the 3rd one:

Hm, looking at it, if we number the pieces
1 2 3
4 5 6
We know that the puzzle ends up with three pairs of pieces interlocked, and I'm fairly certain those pairs are 1&2, 3&5, and 4&6, because the notches in 1&2 and 4&6 match each other.
I could be wrong but I hope this helps?

1$\begingroup$ To me, matching notches makes it more likely to not be paired together. $\endgroup$– dcfyjOct 27, 2016 at 12:26

$\begingroup$ I agree. I think the last two pieces to place should be 4 & 6 with 6 being the very last piece. The first are 3 & 5. Thus, you should place 1&2 inside 3&5 and then get 4&6 in. $\endgroup$– TreninOct 27, 2016 at 13:46
