got that cut corner design of 1927 Lone Eagle's too, but I think the idea is that the conqueror corner design changed sometime in 1926, and the model name changed to LE in May 1927. I'm not sold on the idea that the new corner design is based on an "eagle's head" since we see it here on a 1926 watch long before Lindburgh's flight. I doubt they would retool for this design up to a year earlier than the flight hoping for a future successful flight by Lindburgh. ...and if I squint, I almost see Elvis if not an styleized eagle.
