Only the English made Tiptaft Rising Suns are maker marked, I have about half a dozen slidered English made Rising Suns and they all have the same shaped voids at the end of the name scrolls and I believe that they are all by the same unknown English maker. Australia does not make any badges that I know of on sliders , all old badges have 2 or 3 lugs and we now use the bloody awful sharp pins.
Hope that this helps.
