G'day Jo

Re your Rising Suns, the first is a good English made with a slider, we have never made badges with a slider. It would be a WW1 issue. However some allege that the slidered RS were issued to the Light Horse, however I have one from a family member who was in the 22nd Battalion and know of one still on its slouch hat that belonged to a 24th Battalion man. So it could have been issued to any Aussie Digger.

The second one is pure rubbish and should be consigned to the nearest rubbish bin, sorry.


Re the slip on's I really cant say but maybe the ones with the purple colouring could be for Engineers and or Signals as the sigs were part of the Engineers in WW1 and their facing colour was purple.

Pm sent.

I hope that this helps.

Regards

Phil.
