Slouch hats are usually marked on the inner sweat band with a maker's name and usually a date. Can't tell the age of yours from this photo but I can tell you that the badge is a fantasy badge and NOT military. We have had a thread on these before. They were made up by the disposals stores to help sell surplus slouch hats, in the 1980s I think. It is against the law to wear (but not to own) a genuine army rising sun badge because you might be impersonating a member of the defence force.
