Is this a Ford GPA anchor?

Hi Guys,

I was at my local antique shop and found this 30lb anchor. Would this be correct or acceptable for a GPA?

Hey Guys, I am thinking about going back and picking it up if for nothing else to hang on the wall. They had a few and I believe this one was $300.

That is not a GPA Anchor. This is what the real GPA Anchors look like. And no, I no longer own these anchors or the GPA.
