And the guy was a heraldry specialist. 

So, if the VMs wings to eagle interpretation is 'cryptoheraldry", then going to a headless eagle is crypto-cryptoheraldry.

A pair of wings displayed and conjoined may also be blazoned a “vol”, the French term for the motif; this is seen in the arms of von Hohenfels, 1606 [Siebmacher 140]." 

Herr Siebmacher did the von Hohenfels coat-of-arms. Wonder what that looks like???
