Well, that was sorta my point.
The German eagle has looked like this since 1950, and earlier, from 1928 - 1935:
Before that, it had numerous forms over the centuries, including these:
It was only in those, uh, 'in-between' years that it looked very different, primarily because of the artistic preferences of the folks who had, well, 'assumed' power at the time. We could note that those years are a delicate matter in modern Germany and don't often come up in polite conversation. A lot of the heraldry of the period is today banned from public display in the fatherland.
My question is, why, if there's no eagle in any Porsche emblem, and the PCA still wanted an eagle in their design anyway, maybe to reference their car's cultural heritage, why did they choose the eagle they did?
It may be a small point, but it hasn't helped me grow any fonder of the PCA.
