    This is only interesting for the depiction of swastikas.

    I find it interesting also as an expression of unit pride by an individual - of a fairly expensive, yet non-ostentatious variety. The kind of thing that’s not quite show-off-y, where everyone will notice it, but the sort of thing a man can look down at and smile with a bit of pride and private satisfaction at. It really speaks to that timeless sense of unit loyalty military men develop. THIRTEENTH!

    If you want to talk about the meaning of that pre-nazi era you should do so with more intent.

    Swastika’s ancient, man. Outside of a 20th century context, it’s just a common symbol.
