A purpose made coffin drape tends to be larger at 8'x5' [96" x 75"] (240cm x 150cm) with no rope & toggle.

What Artynut means is the design was adopted in January 1801 and is currant to present date.

Type of manufacture of your flag is called stitched Wool Bunting and was very common for almost all UK produced flags up to the early 70's when stitched Polyester tended to take over.

Top loop normally had a wooden dwell to fix to top loop on flag post rope to ensure flying the right way..
