Does anybody have any thoughts on this Wappen? I have not encountered this before, and I don't have it on my list of insignia. Imput welcome.

DPWICK, its not a ''double wappen'' its a state device, in this case Prussian, other major states had their own badge, affixed to either a Pickelhaube badge or cap usually inbetween the Reich and Landes kockarde, this signified the wearer as a ''Beamte'' or a uniformed civilian official given an honoury rank and employed in adminstrative duties whithin the German army.
Thanks for that. I used the title 'double Wappen' by the way as a sort of catchy heading. I know the various reserve Wappens with crosses, ect, but I hadn't come across that form, with the mini-eagle. It's on a felt pickelhaube, as you can see.
Thanks again!
