Wow, I made a big mistake on that one and am a little surprised that no one spotted it.

The badge pictured above with the 'NZ' above the shield is believed to have been first adopted in late 1917 (NOT 1924) and worn in conjunction with smaller sized collar badges that have left and right facing guns.

Sorry for any confussion by my earlier comments.

As I am a rookie regarding New Zealand badges I didn't pick up on that but am very happy it could be WW1. Jim
