M38 Polize Side Cap...Is It Genuine?

[IllinoisCornFarmer90]

Local guy is offering this cap on a FSBO site. The cap looks a little too minty to me personally. I also thought that the cockade went above the Adler on polize caps? The sellers description is as follows;

"100% original WW2 German police type cap. The cap is in near mint condition with no holes, stains, or fading. The front insignias are in excellent shape as well. Insignias were sewn on prior to lining installed as should be. The interior is near mint with no holes and very clean. Nicely maker marked along with size of 55."

He wants $250 for it.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I would pass on this one. Not sure what it is trying to be? It certainly should not have the Luftwaffe cockade in place on it.
