Default Enigma badges

I am sure that there is a member that can shed light on these badges.First is a black with age Glengarry of the Capetown Highlanders. My knowledge is that it should be bi-metal but this one is all brass. Second is a badge of the Otago Rifles in brass with a voided crown. I always thought that this badge had a solid crown only the gilding metal version had a voided crown. The next two are just unknown badges. The French one is death plaque size. Many thanks in advance.Micky.

Hello Micky,
The 10th (North Otago Rifles) Regiment is for both hat and collar. There are several variations of this badge and your one with a voided crown is rarer and more valuable.
Cheers, Tinto
