USSR Ice Screw - titanium?

This is a relatively inexpensive screw and more of a collector's item - it's stamped "U.S.S.R."

it might be one of the titanium screws; not sure I could tell aluminum from titanium.

I got this a few years ago on Ama Dablam; our team was the route-fixing gear repository and a couple of us grabbed the russian screws. It's sat here ever since and I figured it's time to pass it along.

Asking $25

The eye looks like stamped steel to me.

To be considered authentic, wouldn't the stamp say CCCP?
