I do believe you have a very nice period original cap badge, very nice detail, a clean stamping, good looking attachment prongs etc. It could of I suppose been worn by an SS man in theory, it s not unheard of, nor would I place any significance of that attribution. Rather I like it for what it is. A nice heer cap badge. Quite unusual characteristics, at first I thought civil organization with the height of the neck in proportion to the body. But I like it. Here are some images of mixed insignia in period use from Wim's 4th edition of the Headgear of Hitler's Germany book. Photo credit Peter Coleman and Andrew Mollo. Also a similar badge with painted swastika although second edition eagle, from a heer cap on the collectors guild.
Best regards.

A similar example compared to yours from an earlier thread by Ade. Also there is currently one for sale in our classified section by member all1knew Willam.

This is the army 1st pattern Hoheitszeichen in use on an item found by one of my colleagues and sold to one of my colleagues. A very rare and arcane piece.
This custom operated especially in the LAH.
But the badge is not an SS badge. It is merely used by the SS, and various other badges, NSDAP, SA, and army were used in this manner.
This eagle reminded me of the Ribbentrop photo having the same kind type cap eagle.
I hated all of them...but him I would love to kick in the face.
