Soviet GPW cap-Pilotka

[asjemenou]

What can be said about this Pilotka? It is been offered as a WWII (GPW) sample but I think it is coming from the fifties. Does anyone recognize the marking inside the Pilotka?

The stamp is fuzzy, but looks like 1970's from the Kalinin Factory. I will admit to not being into pilotkas, but i am thinking its a good bet NOT WWII.

I would agree with Doug.

Thanks for your reactions. Like DougD wrote, the number under the stamp indeed looks like the date 1970 y. Something that I did not noticed before. This is a common problem with offers on the Internet, fuzzy and misleading pictures. At first sight, it looks like that the Pilotka is made of the grayer pre war material. Only the stamp inside contradict that the Pilotka is a pre war example.
