What does this badge make you think of? ( Non-Nazi Swastika usage).

Could not at first remember where I had see it, then it came back to me, Terre Blanche - South Africa - remember him the bearded Boer!







One of several 777 designs used by Neo Nazis in South Africa - just another user?

(I'd forgotten how vast the BM is... if you've not been for a while... or 20+ years in my case... Go. It's marvellous.)

I take my daughter every school holiday. I've been going there since
I first used the bus on my own, around 11years old or something...

I love the place. And if you saw the carved ivory roman gladiator figurine,
it was dug up by the first CO of my battalion of research and donated to
the nation in 1911

 

Around 1900 the mark adorned lignum vitae internal thread bottle stoppers used by Walter H. Hicks, St Austell Brewery, Cornwall. Slightly before then it also appeared on aerated water bottle paper labels used by another company in the South of England (I'll dig out a photo) and also by one or two other long defunct UK brewers, once again on paper labels. Overseas Carlsberg also displayed it on the Elephant pillars at Castle Gate.

Came across this when looking for grave in Byker/Heaton cemetery


The symbols-- swastika = hitler -ss
Star of David -- jewish = Holocaust

As the date on the stone date was 1907 the meaning would have been totally differant but dont know what

 

This Badge maybe of interest, issued by National Saving. found by myself whilst metal-detecting in Leeds.
National Saving now have it in their museum.

 

Here is a complete savings card, my grandfather's. Presumably he never cashed it in.

 

Good one Adam!

I was reminded of Swastika, Ontario's refusal to have their name changed to "Winston" during WW2.

"To hell with Hitler, we came up with our name first"

Unity Mitford was supposedly conceived in Swastika, Ontario. Not sure how true that is, but it seemed to have impressed the Nazis.

Looks to me like the symbol used by that f---ing idiot Eugene Terreblanche and his neo-Nazi Afrikaner chums: If you google 'weestandsbeweging' you should see a ver similar symbol.
