Andy,

Thats the cap badge of the 4th (Otago Rifles) Regiment 1911-1921.

The badge is known as the 'open ferns' variety.

The 'R' is NOT for reinforcements.

Average value = £30.

regards

Hi Andy,
This badge is a 4th Otago Rifles open fern badge as Simon Butterworth has stated.
If you have the Badges and Insignia of the New Zealand Army by Geoffrey p. Oldham
go to page 63 and you will see that Geoffrey gives a value of this badge as $55.00 N Z
Regards
Ray
