Brent,
I concur with your comments re the Specialists and am impressed with your knoweldge of the MG Specialists. Attached is a pix of a bronze collar. I have seen the cap as well. As they are regimental signallers and so many varieties, gold, bronze etc I gave up trying to get more varieties, and I suspect people may have been bronzing the brass ones. As regards the NZPT buttons in silver. Yes, I have seen them and may have one. Not sure if I still have it. A number of people told me that they were not military and I must admit I have no reason to believe that they are. However, perhaps some one has a dress reg to prove it. The silvered NZP&TC silver collar I have is rather interesting in that it has had a brooch fitting applied. The lugs have been cut off and it shows bronze where it is cut which indicates it was silvered before becoming a brooch.
