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).
