Hi, first time on this forum, so reason for joining is that I'm trying to find another example of this 58th Regiment badge.  This was found about 15 years ago on a New Zealand (Wellington) battle site, the service number scratched on the back was to a 58th Regt Soldier 454 James Conner who drowned one week after the battle in a local river.  The battle was in August 1846.  So I'm trying to identify what type of badge it is, so far all museums and militaria badge forums confirm it is a very early 58th Regiment badge but can't state if it is a Cap, Pouch, Belt Locket or Shoulder Belt Badge or provide evidence of a reference or another example, can anyone help?  Thanks
