Dragoon Eagles differences

Gunner who?

Fellow collectors,

I have 2 JzP helmets with different eagles. Differences are especially visible in the neck and tail-feathers areas, but in other details as well. I couldn‘t find anything about it in my books, so hopefully someone in the forum can help. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.IMG_1370.jpegIMG_1369.jpeg

It’s just a problem with the vintage drawing. The November 1860 eagle is slightly different from the next one, which dates back to 1895.
Here is the M60 :

On a Jäger zu°M1905 helmet, such an eagle is a reused eagle from a Dragon helmet.
Despite everything, this M60 design reappears on some M15.
So I think we can infer that this is simply a manufacturer variant. JzPf jus Doudou.jpg
