Well for me, I'm really not sure.

Perhaps you should send them over so that I can get a closer look at them.....and caress them.

Ok , maybe not
I'M 98% sure they are the real deal, having no-one around here who knows anything about badges is a bummer.
thak you all for your input.

Lovely badges.

Could you enlighten me as to what No. 1 refers to, ie - 1st pattern? etc.

They are 1st pattern Rising Sun badges worn by the Australian Commonwealth Horse.

Nothing special about getting them.
bought the collars first, then snapped up the hat badge on ebay.
after the second pattern now, after that should have full set. I hope.

well done
how did I miss that one.
what makes a full set? how are you collecting them? just the basic changes in pattern or variations/different manufacturers etc

Hello BC
I am trying to get an example of the 7 rising suns with collars as i thought that would cut costs down a fair bit.

Has anyone seen or know of a copper oxy version of the 1st pattern hat badge???

I think it only comes in brass.

I've never seen an oxidised version.
