Even after the letter was stamped, it doesn't seem to fit the normal 'E' of this type face. Closer to a 'C' with an extra dash :icon_scratch:

looks like an "E" to me. I went to an old english stencil sit and after about 15 pages There were a few stencils that looked like this "E" but the distance on the tail was slightly different.

Has to be a 'E' really, just couldn't get the match.
