Yes it's use was widespread. A Scottish WW1 war bond drive used it. There's also a photo around of a turn of the century women's hockey team from Alberta wearing it on their sweaters. I used to see poker chips with swaz being sold as German WW2, but they were used by casinos in many countries.
My favorite though is Carlsberg Brewery. You know "probably the best beer in the world"? They used it in the early years for a logo on the beer bottles. If you are ever in Copenhagen swing by the brewery. To this day they have these giant marble elefants guarding the gates with swastikas on them. In the tower they even have a giant golden swas(!). Looks awesome in the sun and quite unreal this day and age. Like taken out of the TR.
Pokerchips can be found on eBan. Don't know if they are new or perion though...
