A Natal Mounted Rifles insignia?

The scroll reads NCMR, so not Natal Mounted Rifles. Maybe something like North(ern) ??? Mounted Rifles.

North Cork Militia? (Which leaves the "R" unaccounted for).
They formed part of the KRRC, whose motto was as per this badge. Just guessing, it's a quiet Sunday morning. |

Not adding much but I believe 'CELER ET AUDAX' (Swift and Bold) in deed relates to The Rifles (Royal Green Jackets etc)
As Milmed suggests - North Cxxx? Mounted Rifles - pure speculation though |

What about our cousins across the Tasman there Rob. North Canterbury Mounted Rifles perhaps.

Is this for the 1st (and is the vertical bar above the letters a 1)? Or did both use the same badge?

Hi, It is for the 1st North Canterbury Mounted Rifles. The collar badge was a broad fern leaf with 1/NCMR on it. Tinto

Thanks a lot for that information. The 2nd then had already the ram that became part of the badge of the merger in 1911.
