There was indeed a small lot of .43 Spanish 1885 Remingtons sent to New Zealandicon. 500 in all- serial range from ~41,500 to 44,000. Should have "NZ" marking on the receiver ring (up front) if it was part of the military buy. (Probably a test batch, but that's just a SWAG. The USN used small numbers as issue for various ships, so maybe the NZ military actually did issue some. Would be interesting to find out!)
