NightHawk Knights Templar

[tjc357]

I just came across this one in a trade, it's a NightHawk Knights Templar from what I can find out they were a special run of 99 made for a group of over sea's contractors back in or around late 2007 early 2008 but I believe that not all 99 were made at the same time, this one was built 12-8-2008 and is marked TEMPLAR 28, I've seen one other that was built in 2012 but the Templar Shield was back on the back of the slide not up front like mine and a few other early ones. Has anyone on here ran across one or seen one. Thanks here are a few pics.

Dude, I thought those were made for actual members of a secret order of a group that operates beyond the Knights Templar...Something to do with a Red Rose.
I don't know how you got it but, Nice!

I guess this would qualify as a "Holy Grail" gun.

I hate to be a party pooper but I think that's a replica.

Nighthawk made some of these for civilian purchase. Jim's actually had one for sale a few years ago.

Looks to have the TEMPLAR serial number but I don't know much about them.

What is something like that worth?

I think retail was like $3300-$3500.

Sorry to disappoint you on that one, but I contacted NightHawk and it's the real deal, see freedive10's post and you'll see 99 were commissioned but not all 99 were sold or taken.

Gator I think you may be a little mixed up. The organization I believe you mean is The Knights of the Rose Croix, which is a part of the Scottish Rite's. You must be a master mason to belong. Some people believe the Knights Templar to be the forerunner of the fraternity known as Free and Accepted Masons. David Hood past master Homer Lodge #152
