General of the Armies John J. Pershing's cap badge

Hello

 

I have a british made Army officers cap badge for many years and tried several time to trade or sell it but no one was interested in the item. I was searching the internet and come across this picture of General of the Armies John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing.

As I can see it is the same bage he is wearing.

 

What do you think ?

Pretty sure more than one was made and sold, so entirely possible Pershing could have worn one along with many other officers.

Pershing's appears to be the post 1923 gilt version whereas yours is the earlier blackened bronze. They probably came from the same die though.
