I do not see how there were any ties to the Masons and Knight Templar… Confused. Two different society’s ?

I have a watch fab which has a red cross, crown and in hoc signo vinces, but on the other side is a double headed eagle in gold with a black triangle between the eagle heads with what looks like the number 32 on it. Does anyone know what all this means? This was from my grandfather Brown who was originally from the Boston area

I have a sword made from E.A Armstrong in Detroit MI, on the blade it says H F Bates, I think and on the handle the letters TP, which because of the stying in the letters, I am also unsure. on the sheath it reads IN HOC SIGNO VINCES around a cross, below that, TK. It has a beautiflly etched scene on the blade. From research I know Armstrong was bought out by another company, but can I found out how old this sword is? And how do I sell t? Should I? Thanks Melissa Richardson

I have a sword with the same markings on it. It’s old but I don’t know how old. I found it a few years ago In an old truck that I was taking to the scrap yard, if any one can help me it would be great.
Thank you for your time.
