Atomic,

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. The swastica was also a very popular surf symbol used in the 1930's before the horror of Nazi Germany was realized. (It may have been the Buddist symbol which is the same except reversed)

As a matter of fact there was a surfboard company making wooden boards in the late 20's and 30's called The Swastica Surfboard company.

The medal is the real deal though as we got it from a friend and owner of a magnificent hawaiiana collection. His name is Don and he owns Aloha Sprit in San Clemente.
