Default boer war badges

Hi, I am pleased to have come across this forum, I have been a medal collector for a good few years, but over the last five years or so I have been collecting militaria from the Boer War and amassed quite a good collection. The thing I find quite strange in a way, there seems to be such a mix and match in uniforms and badges, especially to the colonial regiments, and I hope some more learned forum members can help, for instance I have acquired a slouch hat with a green head band and a green flash with a brass N.R. , sorry for going on but just happy to have found the forum, best regards.

Hello broderick, welcome to the Forum.
Looking forward to seeing some of your collection. Boer War badges are not commonly found.
