Hi Dudley
Thanks BC & Mick, that saves me from going into detail, but that said what Mick and BC have said is correct. Australia has never produced badges with sliders so any Rising Sun with a slider has to be made in the UK in WW 1, some where famously made by Tiptaft and have named their slider's in 2 lines on the slider and its also on the back of the badge as part of the die and this has been covered in many threads and posts under this subject in great detail.
The 2 badges that you illustrated are almost a "Holy Grail" of RS collectors.
I suggest that you go back over previous posts to get the "gen" on these badges.
Happy New Year to all.
Phil.
