Who is the maker on the press stud?

Hi. Thanks for the comment on the badge. Looks and feels genuine to me, but I have no experience with them. The press stud is Newey.

You are correct , it is a British made / issue hat and someone has added the much earlier rising sun

Thanks for that. Now I just need to find out what the flash denotes.

Maybe the sun is a veteran add on?

Yes possibly. It has been suggested on the British Badge Forum that the flash is for the East Yorkshire Regiment. I think that the dealer I got it from stuck a badge on it to give it a better look. Its just in this case they happened to choose a nice badge to put on.
Cheers.
