G'day Graham
That is one great looking slouch hat.
I have a very small collection of RAAF badges and the 2 blackened brass KC RAAF hat badges that I have both have lugs. As far as I know the only Aussie badges made with a slider are the WW 1 English made Rising Suns because at that time all UK badges had sliders and not lugs. I dont know that Ive ever seen an Aussie badge with a slider other trhan the rising suns of which I have 3.
Id leave the hat as it is, its a great display item.
I hope that this helps.
regards
Phil.
