History
During the French Revolution, the bladed pins were made by the silversmith and Templar François-Thomas Germain before his excommunication, after which they were only made for the members of his extremist faction. When Charles Gabriel Sivert recruited the Roi des Thunes into his faction, he gave him a pin and called him brother. Later, the Roi des Thunes used his pin to kill the Grand Master François de la Serre, by plunging the bladed side into the man's neck, who bled to death.[1]
By 1927, the Templar agent acting as Black Cross at the time used a Templar pin as his weapon of choice.[2]
