I have already been wrong twice on M43 and I know I am no specialist for these but can advise you to have a look at this thread about what to look for in these caps (post # 13 ff.): Waffen-SS EM/NCO M43 Field Cap

I can't comment on the insignia, as I don't know anything about these, for the experts this should be no problem though.

Personally I think it is a professionally made cap for post-war German Feuerwehr (therefore the features mentioned in the link above might be met) for two reasons: the fabric is made of tricot weave (original examples here on the forum always are made of loden-like fabric) and the sweatband goes all around the interior of the cap.

Hopefully for you I am wrong again.
