'The Golden Eagle' looks 19th century. It has been attributed without evidence (like many others he didn't write)to James Hill. I would guess that like The High Level and President Garfield's, it started life in B flat. I haven't seen it in any old printed source, but names change so I might have missed it.

Dunno about its actual origins, but that's a collected and published source for it. Best wishes, Richard.
