That's a beauty. I think the pocket zipper may be a replacement. To the best of my knowledge they all had Crowns.

I too was curious about that but there is no evidence of restitching anywhere around the pocket or the zipper.
Considering that the zipper stitching is very very small if it was ever replaced who made it really did a superb job.

The one displayed in the following picture has not a Crown
