Found metal button nead help with ID

[Ol Bobby]

I found this in my yard about 8" down with my Explorer SE. It looks like a button. It is metal and I can make out "SANS PEUR" on the right side but not sure of the wording on the left. It looks like a Boars head or Dragon on the left and maybe a Wolf or Dog on the right.Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

Blazer button is my guess, not a military button.

Thanks Brian I looked for quite a while and could not find anything until you suggested a blazer button. It was right on the money. I found another post with an identical button so I am sharing the info for any who were curious. The post was by a fellow forum member ( spudkin100 ). Thanks again. Here is his post. Including a pic of the other button.

So is it a blazer button or a British button?

I would have to agree that it is a modern blazer button.
