I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. First time I've seen that in a cue.The reverse swastikas give me the creeps,I would never own that cue.
Those symbols are much more ancient than the Nazi regime. and they are just artwork, I think the design of the cue is beautiful , it's impossible to tell how well made it is, from the photos but I would really like to see some up close detailed shots, of the inlays. Are you trying to sell the cue or just curious?
Exactly why those symbols creep me out.Nobody is going back in time to persecute the Hopi and Anasazi for using that as a sun symbol, but anyone using it after 1939 is making a statement, whether they intend to, or not.

Why the hell would a cue maker do that?
Neo Nazi?
Not buying #1 or #2.1. Maybe the maker didn't notice it looked like a swastika.
2. Maybe he thought it looked enough different.
3. Maybe it was intentional. Maybe the guy is all about that lifestyle, but too much of a chickenshit to fully advertise. Maybe a coward who wants to be able to point out that it isn't exactly a swastika.
Not buying #1 or #2.
Nobody can be that dense.
Perhaps, the cue maker is from India. I once walked into a house and it had red swastikas by every door. Hmm, that actually could have been a Chinese house.Nobody is going back in time to persecute the Hopi and Anasazi for using that as a sun symbol, but anyone using it after 1939 is making a statement, whether they intend to, or not.
The New Mexico State University yearbook is unapologetically called The Swastika and many years have the image of the swastika like this one
from 1907...
But this image appears on the yearbook into the 1960's and possibly beyond...
But the origins of this pre-date the German interpretation...

For those in the western world for whom that symbol has not been part of their culture or religion for hundreds or thousands of years, then yes, most of those westerners would not adopt that symbol post 1939 because of how most other westerners tend to first think of it and identify it, nor would they have any real need to of course. But for those for whom the thousands year old symbol has always been a part of their culture or religion and had a very special and close and good meaning to them, many of those people aren't going to stop using the symbol just because some other idiot and a much smaller group of people concurrently tried to use it for other purposes for a comparatively extremely short period of time over three quarters of a century ago.Nobody is going back in time to persecute the Hopi and Anasazi for using that as a sun symbol, but anyone using it after 1939 is making a statement, whether they intend to, or not.
