Hello,
It is always hard to tell if repairs were done wartime or postwar, unless the Zeltbahn bears markings of the factory that repaired it. You'll be happy to learn that what you consider as a standard Zeltbahn is in fact a rotated buttonholes variant made only between May and July 1944. If it was cheap, it's even better...as this variant usually costs the price of two Zeltbahnen in good condition.
Thanks
:)

You're welcome....always a good thing to realize that an item is better than what expected...
The maker mark should be located in the red rectangles below...

I'm not seeing any makers marks there, too bad. I see where someone's name was written but it's really faded.
Congrats on your first zelt. Nice that JP can point out that it is somewhat unique. Sure is nice to see the forum at work helping collectors.

I'm a big fan and I WILL one day take the plunge into membership, as soon as the ruble is worth more than nothing, that is.
That zeltbahn is much nicer than the other one you were looking at with the big rip in it.
Very nice.
I didn't know about the button holes, so thank you JP I learned something new.
You had me unrolling mine, but it's just a standard one.
Jonathan.
