Hi Chris,

I think we're talking past each other and saying the same thing. Pulls are common on this type material, for certain.

I term "salvage" to mean that process when German industry or unit tailors take damaged uniform items, disassemble them, and reuse the materials. A great example of this is the M43 shown in Beavers SS headgear book, where an M43 cap still has a partial sleeve eagle sewn to a cap built from salvaged material.

In this case, I can clearly see the needle holes even in these initial pictures. This cap liner material came from something that was sewn using a double needle - the question is, during the war or after?
