New Zealand Forces uniform button, 17mm size, executed in brass and associated with military personnel of New Zealand. This button features the recognised device in clear relief, incorporating “New Zealand Forces” within a circular legend, accompanied by the southern cross in the centre, all set within a bordered field and produced in brass consistent with early to mid-twentieth century uniform fittings.
The New Zealand Forces, forming part of the wider British Commonwealth military structure, served with distinction in both the First and Second World Wars as well as in subsequent conflicts. The Southern Cross, commonly associated with New Zealand and Australian identity, frequently appears in military insignia. Buttons of this type were worn on service dress and formal uniforms, reflecting national and unit identity.
Manufactured in brass with a loop shank fitting to the reverse, this example provides a well-defined representation of Commonwealth military insignia. New Zealand Forces buttons are collected as examples of military memorabilia, Commonwealth history, and uniform components.
