Australian Commonwealth Military Forces (1904-1949 Pattern) Collar Badge, Original

An original Australian Commonwealth Military Forces collar badge, featuring the Rising Sun design worn from 1904 to 1949 by members of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during both World War I and World War II.

Struck in copper, this pattern features the classic “AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH MILITARY FORCES” scroll beneath a sunburst and central King’s Crown. This version, with its distinctive pre-1950 design, reflects Australia’s early 20th-century military heritage before the introduction of the updated post-1949 badge.

The reverse is fitted with original east-west-eyed lugs
