We are actually both mistaken. That is not the "Knights Templar" that you have pictures there. It's the "Knights of the Golden Eagle" "KGE". Many fraternal organization, having "Knights" use the cross in the crown symbol. There were too many "non-Knights Templar" or near-Templar symbols, but it just didn't look right to me. I wanted to know what the "KGE" meant, which you did not mention. John Emory Burbage founded the Knights of the Golden Eagle in the city of Baltimore, MD, February 6, 1873. The Order's motto is, "Fidelity, Valor, and Honor", which is the "FVH". |

and the cross in the crown. |
