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 his follower, Charles Gabriel Sivert, recruited the Roi des Thunes into his faction, Charles gave him a pin and addressed him as "brother". Later, the Roi used his pin to kill the Grand Master François de la Serre, plunging the bladed side into the man's neck and leaving him to 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. His pin could be filled with various poison, and the Black Cross was known to use at least two types: one that killed instantly and another that killed after one hour.[2]
