Default Well polished Rising Sun.
This is probably the most over polished example of this badge that I have ever seen. Had it not been for the maker's mark I may not have bought it.

It needs a gentle clean including the removal of the crud on the slider. Some of the sun rays appear to have been deliberately curved backwards, perhaps to get a grip on the slouch hat. I will not attempt to straighten them.

You are welcome. I only wish that it could talk and that it would tell us where it has been.
