Imperial Eagles varied from proofhouse to proofhouse & also were time varying. Also after the November Revolution(1918), data suggests that the Crippled Eagle(akin to a cripple coon, can't say) arrived on the scene & Crown over said Crippled Eagles were simply ground off the long standing touchmark. Then the Eagle saw a transformation under the 1939 rules. Just display an image of any odd touchmarks & we'll see if you can put you on the straight & narrow.
