And the cross used by Christians would often have the crucifix shape; but these thing of crosses is not so linear, right?

Well, 'Nando, my brilliant and large scale expert Portuguese friend,

Honestly I can't tell for sure. I am not an expert in medieval cross shapes but in period firearms, which sadly usually do not have any definable cross symbols ...

Best,

C'mon Michl, i am far from being a cross expert ... in any scale

Like you, i can't wait for Cesare coments on that subject.
Meanwhile, this is how some modern author repeatedly designs the cross in the coats of arms of the more than twenty Templar Grand Masters.
