You're right, those insignias are Heer insignias.
It is set up as Reichskriegerbund.
The Kyffhauserbund was amalgamated into the RKB, along with all other veteran's organisations (including Soldatenbund).
Most just replaced their Kyff insignia with RKB, which was a WH wreath and an WH-type eagle, but the eagle had crossed swords with an iron cross on the chest).
With vet visors, the eagle could be a period replacement--you will see many different types of insignia combos on them.
Here is the "textbook" model:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Thank you very much for your answer Mr. Stonemint. I bought the hat when I get home I will add more detailed photos. thanks again
The proper eagle is common. You should be able to find one for 25-35 euros.
