The cap is for an officer in the NS-RKB (NS-Reich Krieger Bund) this was a WWI Veterans organization.

but the caps piping is white not silver?

Not Soldatenbund--it is actually EM/NCO Bahnschutz with incorrect insignia.

that sounds good do you have a picture of a bahnschutz cap like this in original?
and thanks for your comments on all that posts by the way

See here (you have to scroll down): Identification of this officer's cap?
I got caught with the one in this thread and I still wonder - piping colour of your cap is white? centerband is velvet? Use the custom seartch field and look for yourself, there are quite some examples for Bahnschutz there.

What I meant was, first check whether the centerband is velvet and if there were different insignia on the cap - perhaps these were on it from the beginning, then I'd leave it as it is - you never know if it wasn't originally used as Soldatenbund because the vendor didn't have the correct cap/didn't know about regulations.
