hand signs

[Garlic muncher]

Recently down at Dunsborough and noticed this photo on the side of a garbage bin.

Its a photo from 1956, the bloke second from the left is making this sign ....

Although it is in reverse, with the palm facing away.

Thought it a bit weird, because although hand signs are as old as hands themselves , thought this particular one made its way to us during the heavy metal era from Def Leppard type of bands in maybe the 1980's, some research shows that sign means peace, the devil and amongst other texas Longhorns

Any thoughts ?

Satan is from WA. Actually that's not really much of a shock.

Angus Young was born in 1955.

Just saying...

Does the sign always mean the same thing in heavy metal bands regardless of which way the palm is facing?

Lost fingers in a shark attack?
