Rising Sun Badge - Unusual Makers Marks
2 Attachment(s)
Picked this Rising Sun badge up this week - slightly indistinct makers mark but I can make out what appears to be the wording "ENDSEN MELB". Anyone seen this maker before ? Badge will be up for sale once the makers mark has been positively identified.
Thanks in advance PL |
Hi PL, The maker is H. ARENDSEN MELBOURNE
regards John |
Thanks John
Do you know if that’s a WW1 or WW2 manufacturer please? Paul |

I think Stokes made badges in The Great War, as did Lambourne and Tiptaft in the UK. I would be interested if anyone could state other makers producing the Rising Sun badge in The Great War. Regards, Paul.

GAUNT UK, TIP TAFT UK, LAMBOURNE UK, JENNINGS (J &Co) UK. Badges and titles marked STOKES & SONS are WW1 and badges marked STOKES MELBOURNE or MELB are WW2 and later. Rob |
Thanks Rob. Regards, Paul.

According to Cossums Rising Sun book he lists the maker as Arendsen- Melbourne as being a WW2 issue in brass and 43mm high (RS132). and also lists a brass collar badge as Arendsen & Co, (RS157). Regards Phil. |
Thanks all

Other UK makers
WW1 rising suns were also made in UK by Firmin and Narborough.
