It almost looks like your cap had the political style eagle attached, which was not uncommon btw, or the old style SS eagle. However, your beautiful 394/35 eagle have most likely been attached to a cap like yours in the past (or an officer's cap). If you're able to hide the old eagle impression with your SS-eagle I'd say it would look great on the cap.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is posible that the cap belonged to a Forgien SS unit ?i say this because the cap was found along with a pair of boots in a large brown paper bag by a building worker in Holland ,the bag is related to the boots and is named in the boots will show photos of boots and bag again someone my be able to read the name.the boots were stuffed with a SS newspaper
