it might have to do with roman... ugh... alphabet I suppose??? You know, alpha, beta, chi that kind of stuff. I remember an A sign and horseshoe .... I'll see what they mean... Wait, I think It's greek. I'll check...

If the images are what I think it is. It would be Alpha Omega...
Alpha and Omega (Gr. "το 'Αλφα και το Ω") is an appellation of Jesus and God in the book of Revelation (verses 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13). Its meaning is found in the fact that Alpha(Α) and Omega(Ω) are respectively the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. This would be similar to referring to someone in English as "the A to Z". Thus, twice when the title appears it is further clarified with the additional title "the Beginning and the End" (21:6, 22:13).
The attribution of this title to both Jesus and God by the author of Revelation shows he believes there is a unique association between Jesus and God. Such exaltation of Jesus by ascribing to him deity is a common theme in the book of Revelation.
Therefore the letters Alpha and Omega in juxtaposition are often used as a Christian visual symbol ...
That could explain why he had it and what it's significance is...

Probably the masonic sign of a compass on a square, but as he aged the straight lines became rounded LOL. The pagan pentancle star and the Star of David are similar. Perhaps he was just making the sign for sneezing...
A shoe!

He was an old punk rocker, trying to make the "A" for Anarchy symbol!
