Nice examples James, and interesting to see a match to Tinto’s cast badge in post #41.
The ‘NZ’ being sweated onto the top of the Gaunt cap badge instead of die stamped as is with the Gaunt collars only raises more questions.
However in viewing your two NZEF NZOAC collar variations, it seems the stamping detail is march more sharper on the back of the unmarked collars compared to the Gaunt made collars.
