Default Ornage River Colony His Majesties Prison Department

Picked up a nice assortment of badges etc from a collection from South Africa. Most are late Victorian or Edwardian and are a mix of British and Commonwealth.

I am assuming that ORC stands for Orange River Colony and that the items shown are a cap badge and collar badge. Any other information gratefully received

Thanks in advance

Hi OC14, these are indeed the cap and collar of the Orange River Colony Prisons worn pre 1910. Regards Andrew
