Army Peaked cap: 1955/57 or 1958/69?

Hello:
I was hesitant to whether this cap, (dating from the year 1959) is the period Zhukov, particularly the uniform service. That is a cap would be abolished manufactured after this model.

The other possibility is that it was a cap of uniform service after abolished the uniform Zhukov.
What is your opinion?
Thanks

Neferet,

From these pictures, it looks like a 1960~70's cap to me.

Lapa,

My doubt was in the year of manufacture (1959), in the limit of changes in the uniforms and caps. I had it classified, by his design, like pertaining to period 1958/1969.
Thanks

If it is a really, really big hat, that would be my guess

By American standads, thats an average size... By Russian standards... Well, I'll leave it for you to decide in case I might offend someone...
