Rare Old Irish Free State Sinn Fein badge.

[Brendan]

Sold on a well know auction site recently, described as a Rare Old Irish Free State Republican Army Sinn Fein FFE Silver Badge, although my main interest is Irish Military I do have a little knowledge of Scout badges and suspected the SF was for Scoutisme Français, did a google search for Scoutisme Français FFE and found the FFE stands for Fédération Française des Éclaireuses, did a search in the completed listing of that well know auction site and found a very similar badge sold for £15. Am I completely wrong and it is a Sinn Fein badge although certainly nothing I have seen before, just completely baffled.

Yes, it is 

Fédération Française des Éclaireuses 

Nothing to do with the Irish.
