Need some help with this EGA

I picked this up a few years ago and never really paid any attention to it until now. I have searched the forum but to no avail. Then I thought maybe a sweetheart item but sweetheart items don't normally have the posts on them do they?

 

Anyway here it is

-cap size enlisted EGA??

-no hallmarks

-looks to be gold painted lead (I have econo-lead egs and this isnt anything like them)

-the post threads are an odd size (bigger than any egas I have)

-weighs close to 30 grams!

-much thicker than any egas I have seen

 

Any ideas on type, era, origin????? I'm stumped.

Looks like someone's attempt (home made, or foreign) at recasting a typical WW2 era enlisted hat device. Your description seems to tell all....lead, painted, heavy..... Not much collector's value here I'm afraid.

 

S/F,

Hmmm, not much value but still its kinda neat. I was thinking theatre made maybe??? Vietnam??

 

Thanks for your input.
