      Yes, judging by the inscription on reverse these badges could be issued to helpers and benefactors ...

      Yes, but only after 1943. You will find many examples in this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/20392-a-different-kind-of-full-cavalier/page-5 But in 20s, 30s and early 40s? No chance! ;)

      This order is for real. As for the story behind this order ... I can't find any historical evidence to back it up...
