As a matter of trivia, I might point out that early versions of the U.S. Marine Corps' "Eagle, Globe and Anchor" insignia featured a crested eagle - some think it was one of the species of crested sea eagles - from 1868-1955, when the American Bald Eagle was made the official bird on the emblem. So it appears that depictions of crested eagles were not that uncommon back in the day.
