Nice one Alex, i'v never seen that maker either

The only thing about them online that I can find is from britishbadgeforum.com in which someone states they were made between 1936 and 1948.

[QUOTE=Alex W;1076957]Hello everyone,

I just picked up my first Australian badges. I feel a little ashamed that I haven't got any before now. As far as I'm aware they are all WW2. A hat badge marked STOKES & SONS MELBOURNE with a repair to one of the lugs, a collar dog marked H.ARENDSEN MELB. and an unmarked Australia title. Does anyone have any info on H.ARENDSEN? I cant find anything online.

Hi Alex,
Here's an Arendsen Melb GS hat insignia.
It's on one of my Fur Felts, I will get an image of the reverse for you later this week as it's on display at the RSL.



Nothing wrong with these.
Nice set mate

Hi Alex,

Nice pick ups mate. Arendson made badges are actually quite common as they were one of the main manufacturers of rising sun badges for the army during second world war they also made army trade badges and RAAF insignia amongst other items also.

Cheers Luke.
