Hallo Rolf
Brian is right. This is a SOLDATENBUND visor with the chinstrap for low-ranking veterans and the correct black mohair band. The shade of the pipings could be red for artillery. I own exactly its brother but with silver chincords for an officer-ranking artillery veteran and I've seen, till now, visors showing white, pink, green and yellow piping and especially a beautiful MARINEBUND summer visor with golden effects (by WAF member Langemarck):

It came from Germany with its own RKB eagle (crossed swords superimposed on the chest ), as frequently seen on other original visors, and shows quite a perfect lining.

Excellent examples, guys! These are quite rare in their own right, and often get confused with RKB and Kyffhauserbund, but are distinct. Each vet got to wear the Waffenfarbe he wore on active duty--ie, Rosa for armored; red for artillery, etc. The organisation was abolished in 1939 and forcibly absorbed into the new Reichskriegerbund, and they were ordered to cut-off/cover-up their piping.
The Soldatenbund eagle is similar to the RKB eagle, but it is larger.
You both have excellent taste in headgear!NEC SOLI CEDIT
