Hi Rob
Many thanks for the great information you have supplied in regard to the NZ Ordnance badge patterns. I collect NZEF WW1 and have a set of the first pattern Ordnance badges with Gaunt tabs. I wish to be as authentic as possible with my collection and included the badge with NZ above the shield based on an earlier post that suggested the badges with NZ within the shield were reinforcement badges.
I have already framed my badges and unfortunately don't have space for both types of badges. I would welcome your opinion as to which pattern would be the better to display as being representative of the type worn by the Ordnance Corps during WW1.
Cheers
John
