Default Post Your Maker's Mark

Refer to Brent's suggestion in another thread:
Tinto, I'm thinking we start a "Post your makers mark" thread, and once we have enough information, we then separate them into possibly alphabetical order going by maker, and then section them into "hat, collar, shoulder title, button" categories.
Although given the amount of Gaunt made badges, we may have to give them their own thread, sectioned into "hat, collar, shoulder title, and button" categories.

Hi All,
I'll start the ball rolling with a few pictures.

9th MR hat
NZE hat, has blackening around the NZE
NZ Medical Corps, has ".N.Z.M.C." on scroll
Tunnellers Company
5th MR collar, BZ
11th Taranaki Regiment hat/collar, with battle honours, BZ
11th Taranaki Regiment hat/collar, with battle honours, brass
8th MR hat, larger type, BZ
Royal New Zealand Artillery hat, brass

Cheers, Tinto

Here’s a button that is not in Corbetts book – NZ Officers Naval Artillery Volunteers (1882 – 1902)



This one is incorrectly listed in Oldhams new catalogue (13/9)



The following buttons are both white metal NZ Volunteers Engineers.



This one was on trademe
