Sentinels of Empire supporters badge.

Founded in 1931 by Commander Oliver Stillingworth Locker-Lampson CMG, DSO,using his family motto ' Fear God Fear Nought '. The ' Blue Shirts ' were a quasi-paramilitary organisation " to peacefully fight Bolshevism and clear out the Reds! ".They attracted praise from Rosenberg the Nazi philosopher and had some links with Mussolini. Although claiming 100,000 members, the Blue Shirts were short-lived and appeared to make little impact with Locker-Lampson subsequently going on to become a strong supporter of Churchill and a vehement derider of anti-semitism.
Badge is in deeply toned condition with the reverse impressed with maker's details ' Denton & Down London '. Uncommon.
