Not seen this configuration before. Certainly looks as it should and not made up. 3 presumably refers to 3rd Company. Any information welcome. The curved title is maker marked JR Gaunt London. Complete with backing plate and cotter pins.

Cap and collars were same size. This one has been converted to a sweetheart badge with a strong pin fitting. It also appears to have been gold plated (unmarked). A very attractive item.

Scarce WW1 21st New Zealand Reinforcements to the 1st New Zealand Expeditionary Force Brass Cap Badge
Artistically for me at least the most attractively designed badge of the series. The use of the tail feathers to spell out 'New Zealand' was simply inspired. With two original hexagonal lugs (as typical of this series). Good sharp detail and circa 3.2cm tall and 5cm wide. The collar badges were of a different design (see my item 61639).
