Gents, can anyone date this cap badge for me? It has a clear crimp mark on the slider, which is generally a mark associated with Great War issue items, but I don't know if this extends to New Zealand made/issued badges too.
Many thanks Bess |

I would say this is a WW2 issue but others may correct me. The slider is fairly short and "heavy" unlike other sliders I have seen for this badge. Cheers, John |

Hello Bess again,
Here are some ONWARD badges for comparison. The two on the left are WW1 vintage, the two on the right are WW2. John |

On the back of Bess’ question is it therefore right to assume that WW1 period NZ GS badges are lugged and that badges with sliders are later. I have recently acquired the badge below which has a reinforcement bar behind the slider.

Your badge is WW2 period. However, some "ONWARD" badges were with sliders in WW1 period as shown in this example. John PS Here is a link to a slidered "ONWARD" badge of WW1 vintage: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ritish+Section Last edited by Tinto; 15-07-21 at 05:27 PM. |

Here is a better picture of the badge (with so called oak leaves) mentioned in previous post, wrongly attributed to the British Section by Corbett in his book.
Cheers, John |
