How it works

Register

1) Deactivated 1883 BSA Martini Henry MkIII 

2) Deactivated 1902 BSA Lee-Enfield MkI 

The current condition of both these rifles is a bit sad but nothing that a bit of TLC, elbow-grease and gun-oil cant improve. The two rifles were deactivated and rendered unusable when the new Firearms Control Act came into effect in 2004. No license is thus required.

3) 12 guage Cartridge Bandolier; During the Boer war special squads of the 7th, 8th, 9th 10th Contingents NZMR on patrol in remote areas were issued with shotguns for food gathering duties. 

Family heirlooms that originally belonged to a Brit by the name of Harley who fought in the South African War. These have been passed down to his Great Great Grandaughter, recently widowed and without an heir.
