Just picked this EGA up, was identified as possible EGA for early Shako emblem. Heard that there are some reproductions of this emblem. If anyone could assist with an I.D., would be appreciated. Happy thanksgiving to all of you.

Comparing it to a stamped emblem it is very difficult to tell. The back side is not as defined as a stamped emblem so would lean toward it being cast.

Here's an original example from my collection, distinctly stamped, off of the shield it came with. This emblem is one of those lesser known variants, probably due to its ugliness and crude appearance, it often gets ignored. Your example appears to be one of the cast replicas being peddled on eBay for years now, one that often fools because the crude appearance seems in line with the design of the emblem
