Info from diggerhistory website :

"RARE New Zealand Cycle Corps Brass Hat Badge. This early badge predates the Territorial era and was worn in Auckland by the Volunteer Cycle Company there.

It was very possibly revived early in WW1 when the Cyclist Company was formed at Featherston as there are bronze and white metal examples of this badge that appears to be WW1 manufacture."

New Zealand site has one for sale at $850.00
