I know this is a 2 year old thread just revived, but that's not a "vintage" Harmony. I wish I had noticed this thread long ago but I rarely check this section...it's 4AM and I'm wasting some time...
Harmony never made any copies, they made their own body styles. Including some standard body styles like those used by Gibson, Gretsch, Guild etc.
Harmony was an American company, every guitar had Made in USA on it somewhere.
The headstock with "EST 1892" is usually a different one, and was only used by a Japanese company that started using the Harmony name to make money after the original company folded in the late 70's. Japanese company bought the name and started making cheap copy guitars usually crap.
Here's what the usual Japanese Harmony headstock looks like
