Hi Nemo,
Badge looks good to me. Hat badge size is about 33mm diameter, collar badges are smaller. Cheers, Tinto PS Your badge is First World period but also worn much later. Last edited by Tinto; 27-06-12 at 09:02 PM. Reason: Extra information

Hi Nemo,
This badge would have been worn by Territorial Force soldiers between the Wars and possibly by Home Guard men during WW2. The 2 NZ Expeditionary Force wore the "Onward" fern leaves badge while overseas. Tinto

Hi Nemo,
Worn from c 1912 to c 1954 when a QC version with Northland on the circle was introduced. Worn by the 15th (North Auckland ) Companies of the battalions of the Auckland Regiment during WW1. I agree with Tinto. It looks good to me. Regards Chris
