So far no New Zealand Reinforcement badge collectors have agreed with your theory that the Stokes made badges in question are New Zealand Reinforcement badges, so I ask, what proof do you have to back your claims???????
I have checked the link you have provided for the New Zealand Trade Me seller and see the seller has describes them as. — “WW1 regiment a pair of number 21” & “Stokes & sons”
It is interesting to note that the New Zealand seller does not describe them as New Zealand Reinforcement badges.
It is also interesting to note that when I checked the New Zealand sellers ‘Auction feedback’ I found that the majority of the Stokes made shoulder numerals were sold to New Zealand badge collectors as I recognise their user IDs which adds weight that the badges sold on Ebay did not come from the Trade Me seller that you have provided a link for.
