Sturdy 2-layer construction, in cotton, white with red stenciled and stitched decorative marine-themed design. Measures 10 ¾" x 5". The original manufacturer's paper tag of the Dnepropetrovsk ("Dnipro" nowadays) Base Experimental Headgear Factory is attached, stitched onto the cap. Another factory tag, in fabric, is stitched onto the inside in the back of the cap.

In very good to excellent condition. The stitching holding the 2 layers of fabric is intact with the exception of about 1" where it is partially unraveled. The fabric inside is pristinely clean whereas the outside has acquired barely noticeable storage wear and 2 very faint water stains. If desired, a quick wash should take care of the soiling.

A summer camp pilotka like that was most likely meant for the few summer camps on the Black Sea shore which were officially equally accessible for all children of the Young Pioneers age, but in reality serviced children of the Soviet political and administrative elite, sometimes with a few "ordinary kids" thrown in for appearances' sake.

Please note that the pen in our last photo is for size reference.
