Should The Maters adopt a sigil?

[While rifling through some stolen correspondence you happen upon one which contains rudimentary sketches. What secrets does it contain?]
Mr. Iron,
I don't know how long it will take this message to be received but I hope it finds you at a pleasant time. There is something I wish to share with you, an idea, for your metal.
The Mark of The Masters.
I've included some basic drawings but if they are not detailed enough below is a description. It is a Capital 'M' with a circle or halo connecting the peaks.
I saw it in the lucid region right before a dream but I didn't sleep. Something shifted in my home and roused me to find nothing but this image in my memory. Did I see it somewhere before? I've been to the mirror marshes but please don't toss out my musings yet!
The circle has three spokes with small holes at the terminations. The spokes are equidistant from each other and the longest points down touching the M's trough. The whole thing is silvery cold metal with blunt yet savage edges. When small it is quite sleek and cunning. When large It looks like an implement of torture or entrapment and is also likely too hefty to run with. My guess is only people working for you would know how to get a man's head into the center hole without heating the metal. Once so trapped the person's arms could remain free, for what use are a man's hands against a constraint without clasps or locks? Maybe what I saw was meant for moving very dangerous people or things... or people treated as things.
Respectfully,
Joseph Fox

I don't see them using the sigil dirrectly, but I could see people using it, either to say that such an item is under the watch of the masters, or to draw the attention of the masters TO it.
And anybody using it falsely, well, we don't want to know them, do we?
