Opinions on this KGB cap...

[Leaftree]

Bumped into this KGB cap and I'm unsure of the originality of it.
Date looks like '1958'?
These are the only pictures available to me at this time.
Opinions welcome.

Anyone? I'm thinking it looks to new to be a period '58 cap.

I also think it looks a bit too new for a 1958 cap. I would also expect a bit more square visor instead of the very rounded one shown here. Though it is a bit difficult to judge with these pictures where no details nor good full on pics are provided.

My only reference at the moment is this web site:
Under the Red Star - KGB Caps

If I'm reading it right, the visor could be either squared or rounded... the squared visor began to be phased out in 1954.

It's a good cap with a beautiful brass cockade
