March 28, 20197 yr #1 This collection was obtained in Houston, Texas many years ago. It was sent to a young woman in 1946 following her request for insignia from the New Zealand forces. The original transmittal and documentation from the NZ Quartermaster have survived making this grouping quite unique. There are 40+ vintage cap badges and 20-30 pieces of cloth insignia. Some of the cap badges I imagine are quite scarce. Hope you enjoy. Bobgee
March 30, 20197 yr #2 This is a really nice selection of old and now obsolete NZ badges and insignia. Thanks for sharing.
March 31, 20197 yr #3 That's a pretty amazing collection of badges. I am amazed that the NZ Army took that much time to ID and sent that much stuff. Great stuff Bob.

January 4, 20224 yr #5 Hi, I apologise for digging out this old topic but one of these badges looks to be the larger NZE badge worn by the NZ Tunnelers in the First World War. So probably the rarer badge in this amazing collection. Would it be possible to have closer pictures of this badge (front and back)? Did they specify that it was the pattern of the Tunnelers?
