Can anyone tell me if this is a wartime or post war russian cap? as I know nothing about russian militaria

Probably post war. What are the markings inside? Usually there's a date or datecode.Thanks,

I can tell you that the cap badge is absolutely post war. The cap itself is another matter. I'm with Eric in that I'd like a look inside.Comment

I can make out a 58, is that possibly 1958? All the other markings are to faint to read. I dont know if it helps but there is also a grey rubber/plastic sweatband present
ThanksComment

58 is the size. About a 7 1/4 for those in the US.
I'm not an expert either but I'd guess the odds of that being WW2 are very low. As Greg said the capstar is definitly not.Thanks,
