If my word does not suffice, you might want to check out Under the Red Star, which is a website by Randy Stewart to educate collectors concerning 1945-1991 Soviet visors.
A very handy website--though the cap is quite nice, nonetheless. For some reason, I was under the impression that coal-industry caps had an older, "teller" shape to them, not to sort of pointed shape you'd see in later Army caps.
