Some more from NZ........
1st...front pic of standard( 1 only ,central 'full-stop') silver dipped for
bandsmen.This is the one used as a comparison in size ,with the first pic,
next to the extra large variety.This has a moving, extra top wheel also. A common variation , found on a lot of Artillery badges.
2nd ...pic of back showing this as die-struck,with 3 blade fixing.
3rd....modern QC brass variety ,(3 lug fixing)
4th....beret version (2 lugs N-S positioning) with MOD 'Sample ' tag.
5th....British badge ,used by NZ bandsman (likely WW1)here. Also dipped in nickle.
6th....back pic.showing an odd construction,& very unusual,using the origional slider,shortened,& a new bottom 'blade',to make it clip over the standard NZ Artillery Pugaree,so as not to damage the 'Lemon-Squeezer' style hat.

Cheers !
Steve
