Going butted or rivited?
SirNathanQ:
I'm going to try for wedge-riveted/solid ring maille. flat ring.
Sir William:
The beatific cross is used by the Militia Templi, like so:

I couldn't get it to show up so I'm leaving the link instead.
Sir James A:
It's not teutonic or templar, but it's that "other" 3rd massive knightly group.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller
It talks about a couple different variations of the cross being used, as well as the change in colors. I think the templars would have done something similar before getting a (mostly) standard style. I've seen 3 different styles. It looks like what I call the maltese cross is a "cross pattee".
SirNathanQ:
and so I guess I'd be sporting a stylized cross Moline.
And I'm familiar with the Hospitallers. Us Teutonic knights originally were a Branch of the Hospitallers, but German, and organized along the lines of the Templars (as to be more Militaristic)
and from what I remember, there is some serious variations allowed, as long as it's a black cross upon white. It's really only specified with the Hochmeister's insignia (cross Potent)
