Good one - no markings (in one of the corners)? Looks wartime production, based on the cheap buttons. Also, its the rarer "open weave" print (as I just learned here )

,,ive looked all around the edges on both sides and theres no RB number or makers marks.
chuffed its a good en
open weave,,that must be the pattern of the rain drops?
thanks for the reply

I would say 1943 onwards, a nice original for your first one!

[HERMSDORF]

I agree, good late one I would say a around 1944 one because of the very late War Iron Buttons and the savings of the small grommets (one instead of two in the middle and in the lower Edges)..
