Hello Jack,
Just had a quick look at Colin R. Owens book THE MILITARY BADGES AND INSIGNIA OF SOUTHERN AFRICA, under description of Badges, #115 Kaffrarian Rifles, w/m cap badge worn 1902 - 1914. I think this fits for the ID of the badge. Michael |

I agree, it should have been badge #113, (not badge # 115.) a black metal cap badge worn 1902-1963.
