Hi Alan, the Royal Durban Rifles was amalgamated with Maritzburg Rifles in 1887, in 1889 they were renamed Royal Natal Rifles. In 1910 they became Royal Natal Regiment and were disbanded in 1913. I unfortunately only have a pouch badge of the Royal Durban Rifles. Attached is a picture of that as well as the Victorian NRR, Other Ranks and Officers Cap Badge and then an Officers Side Cap Badge. I hope these will help. Regards Andrew
