My personal opinion on it, is the hat is an original one but the badge is a repro.
Am i correct?

Original 'Rising Sun' badge-these are still readily available-no need for a repro-you do see repro examples of the very early types (pre WW1) but these types were very rare even when made.

Im not experienced on these badges yet, just wanted some feedback on it.
So, there are still plenty of original badges around.
Thanks for the info mate.

Looks a good late war example. Well worth having if the price is not too steep, though pre 43 examples are more desirable IMHO.

Thanks for the reply Jerry.
I love these but they are a bit out of my field so far.

Glad to have your opinion.

Cheers.
