Jamie, firstly, it is a modified swastika and not a Maltese cross. The swastika was widely used throughout the world as a decorative symbol. It has/had various meanings, progress, ongoing life and balance in body, mind and soul. The one you have is similar to one I have seen in a tattooing design book from the 1920s featuring patterns from Micronesia and other Pacific islands, thus the "fish" imagery. I would humbly suggest you take it as a continuation of life and tradition. The FHCAG has given it to you and one day you will give it to one of the children and so on.....I hope this helps.
