c.1905-1912 A Rare Possibly Unique Rising Sun Hat Badge

A most interesting and highly attractive full size Rising sun hat badge. Single piece die strike. The bottom half in a silvered finish and the top half in full fire gilt. I can only assume this is in reverence to being an Administrative and Instructional Staff Corps NCO’s hat badge Stokes and Sons makers mark to the reverse. Brooch pin reverse.

I have never seen another like this.
