Is this a genuine Feldgendarmerie cap?

Hi everyone, this cap looks pretty nice but the sweatband looks newish to me. And makers mark isn’t really visible. Be interesting to see what people think, thanks.

Apparently this is a Visor cap for officers Feldgendarmerie Wehrmacht 100% original.

Well-preserved peaked cap for officers of the field gendarmerie. Gun color is orange.

Medium war production, high quality officer's cloth, inner lining silk. Manufacturer difficult to read. Sweat leather forehead pressure-free, German imperial patent.

Condition 1. minimal signs of wear. Denazified.

From these pictures it looks like a Peküro cap - I don't remember a specimen with the Stirndruckfrei stamp on the sweatband. Reichspatent does not necessarily mean imperial patent, more likely the German Empire is meant in this case (1933 -45). What concerns the colour you'd have to have the cap at hand to really see which colour it is.

Hard to tell what 'farbe it exactly is.
I can tell you this much, it is an original Meisterklasse, but the Pekuro sweatband was added within the last year (and the seller does not disclose that fact).
That significantly decreases the value.

Here is what it looked like when it was originally sold on Ebay back in April of 2018:
