What Value Junk?

[muffett.2008]

I've been following this one on the NZ Trade Me site, to the casual observer it looks like just another beat up receiver,

.........but lift the bolt handle, and another world opens up.
Attachment 71431

This 1939 Lithgow receiver with matching bolt, sold for the princely sum of $53NZ.
This year on Lithgow rifles would be about the 5th rarest, with only 840 made.
Even in it's partial state in OZ it would have fetched about $500.

Now my problem is that I cannot bid on this site, only NZ firearms licenced holders are able to purchase firearms or major components, so I need a middleman.

I tried to organise a Importer/Exporter that advertises here once before when chasing a 1938 Lithgow, but after the initial communications he just did not answer my Emails, that rifle sold for $134NZ (enough to make you cry.)

So if there's anyone who knows a reliable agent over there, or is willing to help, please get in touch, I only need the initial sale and export assistance, from the Kiwiland side.
