Handwritten version of Frantisek Josef Prokop's book 100 samomatu (100 selfmates) published in 1940. Everything is the same as in the book itself, title page and 100 diagrams with self-mates, the place and date of first publication and solutions. Only the foreword is missing. 

This manuscript is possibly the basis for the printing. I am not sure if this is the handwriting directly from F. J. Prokop (his handwriting looks a bit different) or from someone else. On the back side of each sheet is a Manheim insurance form in German, which would indicate that the manuscript was created during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia (1939-1945).

Condition - Good: the sheets are stored in a simple archival binder, the clasp is rusty, paper is yellowed and with two archive holes, diagrams are created using chess rubber stamps.
