Stamp in soviet service cap

Hello,
I'm asking for your help with a stamp in a soviet service cap that's I saw for sale.
I'm pretty sure that the cap is original, but I have my doubts with the stamp. I can't find any reference for this stamp on the internet or my books. I only found that this particular factory was located in Leningrad.

What do you think?

I am no expert on these caps however I think what comes across as very weird is the wear inside the cap but the stamp however is mint and sharp. It doesn't look good to me. With this kind of wear (hair grease etc.) one would expect this to reflect in the stamp as well. I have several original German Third Reich visors which all show believable signs of wear. This one is just not convincable to me.

Hi Richie, please explain. What are the tell-tale signs? Because I had the cap in hand and it looked and felt quite convincing to me. Though I need to learn a lot in this subject...
