You did get my attention with your "complete collection" heading. Obviously you meant "your" complete collection. Can we expect more?

Formed in 1911 as a training Corps of 200 NCO's. Disbanded on 9 Januari 1947 with the formation of the New Zealand Army as the Reguar and Territorial Forces had become integrated.
The Permanent Staff recruited subsequent personnel from private soldiers.

The collars are facing inwards.

This info from Corbett - The Regimental Badges of New Zealand, p. 56.
