Double sided banner with date in corner HELP

[fbeaty]

Double sided banner with date in corner, I was told that they would put the month and year on the top corner in grease pencil when they hung them, so they knew how long the banner lasted when it needed replaced. Is this remotely true?

Or is BERLIN in all caps weird? and is 6/44 a date maybe or representative of # 6 of #44? Anyone else have an idea? Because this is defiantly not a capture date...

I think I may have found an answer... the 6/44is not a year but possibly 6 of 44... or has other meaning a unit? or maker code? I found another pic on a closed thread...with 4/80 Thoughts? From this thread Is NSDAP Banner genuine?

No.

I just saw another post with the same kind of markings... maybe the owner was making a guess with the date. I think it means 6 of 40 like 4 of 80 in the other flags thread. It is interesting that 2 differ flags have similar grease pencil marking? The other one has a maker stamp and then the 4/80, the one I posted doesn't have maker stamp but written BERLIN and 6/44. So maybe a rational thought is Berlin is the maker(location) production #6 of 44?
