The stunning History of the Rising Sun Hat Badge Collection from the military specialists is the perfect gift for any military personnel or enthusiast. The Rising Sun Collection includes high-quality replicas of each of the Seven versions of the Rising Sun hat badge.
The first Rising Sun Hat Badge from February 1902. It was issued to mounted troops in the Boer War. It bore only the word AUSTRALIA arched above a King's Crown.
The second Rising Sun Hat badge from April 1902 added a scroll with the words 'Commonwealth Horse' and changed 'Australia' to 'Australian'. This badge was a modified version for the Commonwealth Horse.
The third Rising Sun badge from May 1904 carried a scroll inscribed with the words 'Australian Commonwealth Military Forces' and was worn throughout both World Wars. There were, however, a number of variations of the badge; a special version was struck for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 and there were badges of the Commonwealth Horse and the Australian Instructional Corps, each with its respective title on the scrolls. This pattern badge formed the template for all subsequent General Service badges.
The fourth Rising Sun Hat Badge is from 1949 when Corps and Regimental Badges were reintroduced into service. The wording on the scroll on the Rising Sun badge was changed to read Australian Military Forces.
The fifth Rising Sun Hat Badge is from 1954 when the badge was changed to incorporate the Queen's crown with the ascension of Elizabeth II.
The sixth Rising Sun Hat Badge from 1969 was modified to incorporate the Federation Star and Torse Wreath from the original 1902 version of the badge and the scroll wording changed to Australia.
The current design Rising Sun Badge from 1991 was produced with 'The Australian Army' on the scroll and the removal of the Federation Star and heraldic wreath. The Rising Sun Badge was originally called the General Service Badge, but it is now officially labelled the Australian Army Badge. It will, however, always be referred to as the Rising Sun Badge.

Great packaging. Perfect for the upcoming 21st birthday for a military mad son.
i am very impressed with them
Great product
This was a gift for my mum who served in the army for 25 years. She absolutely loved it and it's not proudly displayed at her place. There was a bit of a delay with delivery but the day after I sent an email I got a response saying that the order had been filled and would be express posted at no extra charge. Will definitely continue shopping here.
I love them !!!
Very Happy with The Rising Sun Hat Badge Collection. My Father would've been so proud. Amazing Collection and presentation. I will certainly recommend your product to everyone I know. I love it, Thank you so much.
Prompt delivery, well packaged. Quality box and replicas well displayed. Bit all over the place upon opening but referring back to the web site allowed me to replace them all back in order. I would only rate the actual hat badges as 8/10 as they are a little bit tinny.
One hinge was damaged. The pin was just loose in the box and all the badges fell out when opened.Luckly a friend could repair the hinge let’s hope it works. As it’s a present for my son who is getting out of the Army after 25 years of dedicated service
