Brass NZ Forces button back stamps

[nbroadarrowz]

This is a list of back stamps (not necessarily the maker) of NZ Forces buttons that I have observed. Small size buttons often have a shortened name due to space restrictions of the button and have not been included.
Does anyone have any others?

I have a "Extra Superb" 17mm NZ Forces Button, and a "Livingstone 1947" (I think, near impossible to read) Leather 17mm NZ Forces Button.

Has anyone ever sighted a "A Levy, Wellington" NZ Forces Button. I know they made NZ Railways buttons, but there is a rumor they also made NZ Army Buttons during WW1. But I have never seen.

Thanks
James.

Thanks for all the replies.
This is the combined list of BRASS NZ Forces button BACK STAMPS.
Once again, the back stamp is only that, and does not mean it was made by that company. To my knowledge the ONLY embossed metal button maker in NZ was P Robert of Palmerston North, who had their dies stolen after a very short period of time.
