Default 1st Canterbury Infantry Collar
Guys,
any thoughts on this collar? Have others encountered it. Was it ever worn?
Appears to be Brass, with a bronzed finish/coating applied.
Copper lugs to back.
Many thanks in advance.
James

Hi James,
I've not seen this badge before. It may possibly be an early trial version. Could be a sweetheart badge but these were usually brooched.
Cheers, Tinto

Looks like a butchered cap badge to me

This is the original collar badge design that was approved by General Godley and is dated 26th May 1911.
