Brass/copper construct smaller Rising Sun badge of the Australian Forces.
Lugs intact
The original design, which was created and produced in haste, was modified in 1904.
This badge carried a scroll inscribed AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH MILITARY FORCES and it was worn throughout both World Wars. In 1949, when corps and regimental badges were re-introduced into the Army, the inscription on the scroll was changed to read AUSTRALIAN MILITARY FORCES.
