Rising Sun cap or collar
Hi All Down Over,
I bought this rather nice Rising Sun badge as a cap badge but suspect from the size it's a collar; can you advise? Seems to be bronze? WP_20170517_001[1495].jpg regards, Iain

No problem Iain, let me know if you want accurate measurements and / or weights. - and sorry, I misspelt your name!

Hello Iain
During WW1 Australian Imperial Force soldiers wore the larger Rising Sun badge on their slouch hats, however when wearing the peaked caps I think you will find most of the cap badges were the same size as the collar badge so technically you do have a cap badge. Dennis |

Hello Dennis,
many thanks, so is this a WWI version? And only worn on the peaked cap? regards, Iain Quote:

Hello Tim,
I was actually looking for one to put on a slouch hat that was from Tobruk so the size would be useful, thanks regards, Iain

I am fairly certain the slidered versions as British made in WWI.

Thanks Jerry, I had thought (hoped) that was the case, so thanks for your opinion.
