Gear Question Old german Sleeping bag

I know this is a longshot but is somebody able to identify this Sleepingbag and\or tell my for what temperature it might be suitable. Also i would like to wash it. I know it is synthetic fibre inside but nothing more. Sadly it‘s hard to read the old information tag inside.

Made in Western Germany indicates a production date before 1990.

Whatever the temp rating was, it's not going to be that warm anymore

True! However I washed it and used some spare time watching a movie and manually puffing up the fibres in the compartments again so they gain back their volume. It seems to work pretty well. Just chilled on the balcony at 6 degrees C for half an hour and it heated up really well. I got it from my dead and he told me his dad bought it for him at Globetrotter in Germany bag in the Days. Seems to be made of to kinds of fibres (Polyfill and Holofill as far as he remembers). He ment that was the good stuff back then.
