Does anyone have an image of the heresy/preheresy era Aquila of the Emperor? According to the fluff it was slightly different, holding a lightning bolt in the hand.

In the horus heresy visions one of the artworks depicts the emperors badge as the head of an eagle.. no pic though.

It's supposed to be an aquila with a lightning bolt.

It says that the pre-heresy aquilla was blindfoded on the one side and the other side had eyes.So it wasn't very different from the post-heresy aquilla.
