Hello paulp4180,
hard to tell by these pictures. Just several observations: Feuerwehr caps should have three rings of red (carmine) piping - this one doesn't (I can see blue piping around the centerband, which, by the way should be made of velvet), the cap cord is flecked silver and black - there were flecked cap cords, but they were silver and red, the waterproof coating inside the top panel seems odd, too but I can't see it clear enough, the way the sweatband is sewn into the cap (Alkero developed a way to produce stirndruckfrei caps by applying a certain method of sewing peak and sweatband in) looks post-war as well.
I don't know anything about insignia but, as you mentioned, this one seems very odd - like a cast.
Better pictures would help, but, I am afraid, these suffice already for identifying the cap as a fake.

The good thing about this is that I appear to be learning!! Thanks ErWeSa your input is very much appreciated!

Forgot to mention: there is a difference between Feuerschutzpolizei, see here: Po-FSP (Feuerschutzpolizei/Fire Protection Police) Visors
and Feuerwehr, see here:
FW (Feuerwehr/Fire) Visors

I'm by far an authority but with these caps one thing I have learned is to immediately look at the inside top panel. From what little I can see, this looks to be rubberized and thus post war vs. war time oilcloth.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thanks to all for the opinions- no surprise that I’ve passed on it
Thanks again
