W-SS shoulder board construction ?
I am trying to learn more about SS shoulder board construction and want to ask if glue was ever use to bond officer grade tops to the piping and black base of shoulder boards of the SS? Or even/Heer/Luftwaffe?
I have a pair of SS officer shoulder boards which look to have been uniform removed. I've had these boards for years and in hand they look and feel right, but they have been glued together. I know that most boards that I've seen are sewn, but is this the only accepted method? Just wondering was the real method to construction of these pieces of insignia from mid to late-war?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the subject.

Thanks Jeff for posting your board. Does the cording on the top appear to be sewn to the black piping? Or is it glued as well?
Thanks again for posting these images guys.
