A gee-gee pinned by the German weapon (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dagger

'weapon' is the definition.
(dagger is a kind of weapon)

'a gee-gee pinned by the german' is the wordplay.
'gee' becomes 'g' (synonyms).
'gee' becomes 'g' (synonyms).
'pinned by' indicates putting letters inside.
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German).
'a'+'g'+'g'='agg'
'agg' placed into 'der' is 'DAGGER'.

(Other definitions for dagger that I've seen before include "Hand weapon" , "Macbeth's weapon" , "Murder weapon" , "Short knife for stabbing" , "The weapon Macbeth thought he saw" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
