This hen looks very much like my first pullet given to me by my grandpa back in 1976. Biggest differences I can see is mine was a just a little darker and was half toppy. Mine was also het for peacomb and only bird I kept with such. When she was bred to anything red then pullets came out either red quill or wheaton. When bred to greys then she threw pullets like herself or a grey version of wheaton. Stags where either duckwing or redquill / silverquill. She would also fly a good hundred feet to launch her self at a cat or dog. She is also the only chicken I have ever had that actually killed a hawk (American Kestrel so stretching it a bit).

Do you have males of the same? What did she look like as a chick?
 
Males are your typical silver duckwing color.
Some come speckled chested....I did get a few that where more "white". These are all 100% green legged and straight headed. That hen was a solid yellow chick.
Here is a pic of a "whiter" grey....they are very rare. He's molting and looks rough...but you get the idea.

That male is on the darker side of what I call silverquill. Most of mine had little or no brown bleeding through on wings. My hen and her daughters like her could through a high percentage like that. Mine also all green / willow legged. That holds even now with birds of same stock. Peacomb was only in part of line I played with out of a battlecross cock that brought in the grey, toppy and wheaton all at the same time.
