Mauro,
That little booklet is an excellent, relatively rare early reference and very difficult to find (I have one and found another for a good friend). As Gerben has indicated, it is a well researched work by a very authoritative author. This was one of the first references to identify and illustrate the 1899 "Versuchsmodell" pre-production variation (Kenyon got his book to press slightly sooner). To have the original master copy is truly outstanding! Congratulations and thank you for posting it.
