Hi Steve
Who knows? It's not maker marked so that's a negative I suppose. What size is it? The blades look to big for the badge. Probably more likely a cap badge than collar.
There is a bladed hat badge on eBay at the moment. Dave Wright selling it. See what it goes for and go from there
Hope that helps
Bc

Hi Steve
The rising sun badge in collar size or a little bigger was worn on the cap. The hat badge was far to big. Given it has long blades it's probably made for the cap.
Dave Wrights bladed hat badge went for $86aust so I suppose it's worth about that.
