Well, definitely a badge and "sterling silver to boot."
"Assuming" they all belonged to the same person, then can we assume we have a WW 1 soldier from the 9th (Wellington East Coast Rifles) Regiment who continued his relationship with firearms postwar and joined a rifle club? I doubt that there would be any muzzle loading clubs post WW 1 as the breach loader had been around since 1890.
Over to the gang to see if they can come up with a locality, Lower North Island perhaps whose name could start with M.M.
But of course we don't know if he returned to his home town after WW 1 or if the badge is New Zealand.
As a long shot, try this...............
