Getting a gun to New Zealand is tough, a lot of paperwork involved. I sold a ’92 musket to a fellow member in N.Z. it cost Me app. $2000.00 Cdn. to get it there and nearly 2 years, long story. Jeremy, if You’re still thinking of the Buffalo Bill gun, they weren’t particularily good quality to be a shooter. You’de be much better with a pre ’64 or a later 1990’s – 2000’s gun. Without the box and paperwork it has basically lost it’s “collector” value , here at least, and would sell in the $400 – $800 range Cdn.. Unfired , with box and paperwork and no marks, $1600 range. As with most Winchesters, condition and rarity = $’s, They made like 120000 of these so they can’t be classed as rare, unless it is in pristine cond. with a pristine box etc..
I know a couple of collectors from New Zealand and it takes them at least a year to buy a gun here and eventually get it into New Zealand. They buy it here and leave it with someone. When they get back to New Zealand they get the permit. Then on the next trip to the US they take the gun home.
