Hello
Has anyone got a spare early NZ Ordnance Cap badge they wish to part with???.

I have been looking for years for a Cap badge to go with my pair of shield collars .

Cheers

Hi Corey,

Geoff Oldham displays one with NZ on top here:

Not sure how old this entry is. You may be looking for the one without NZ on top?

Cheers, Tinto

Hello
Yes I need the early type without NZ on the top.
The photo I attached is of my current (corps) board so I'm just using that one as a filler.

Cheers
Corey

Hi Corey, There are two badges that were used withe the collar badges you have:

The New Zealand Army Ordnance Department and the New Zealand Army Ordnance Corps.

The Department was for Officers and the Corps was for Warrant Officers, SNCO's and other ranks and they existed between 1917 and 1923 when they combined into one Corps.

Both are very rare and hard to find so I wish you the best in your quest.

Cheers

Rob
