Subject:Anybody have info on the German Factory Awning?

Hi Volks:

Yesterday I had the good fortune of purchasing subject awning from a Cdn
serviceman - who bought it from the German factory (VW or Westfalia?) when
he got his Vanagon there in 82.

Here's what I know about it:

It has a frame like the VW? factory tents;
It has a retracable end - so you can park your van close, and then adjust
the awning so it "snuggs up";
It has a "boot" to connect with the van's roof;
It's HUGE;
The awning fabric is rubberized "something" - canvas? and is a greyish tan
colour (was pretty dark when we set it up);
It's been in storage since 84!

Does anybody have an idea where this thing was made, and have an idea of
it's market valuation, as well?

TIA!
