Thanks for the enquiry on New Zealand gun law.
Firstly we are not part of Austrailia and have a relation ship some what similar to that of the USA and Canada.
Our gun laws require any one who wants to own or deal in any type of gun (excluding air guns) to be licenced (class A).
This licence is for the person, not the gun. It weeds out those whom we all aggree should not own a fire arm.
Rifles and shot gun are not each licenced but revolvers, pistols, SMG's and machine guns are. To go pistol shooting you need a B licence and you need to be a member of a pistol club.
To own SMG's and MG's you need a C licence or collectors licence and you can own anything. Transfers between collectors can take a little as 5 minutes but usually as long as it takes you to go pick up the gun and cost nothing. One needs a "permit to procure" for a transfer or purchase and the Police issue them on demarned and on sight of your C licence.
To own assult rifles such as M16 and AK47 (in semi auto) you need a E licence and the gun must be registered. This came about due to public demarned. Assult rifles were used here extensivly for helicoptor deer recovery in our mountain country, but now the guys (and girls) just leap out of the choppers and catch them alive. (I jest not!)
To own a SLR , M16, AK47 etc in full auto you need a C or collectors licence. I have A,B,C,D, and E. The D is a gun dealers licence.

With regard to the Dutch Luger, I have one Vickers marked (Toggle)with grip safety made for the East Indies contract. It is not an excellent finish but is all matching (barrel frame toggle).
Most of the Guns that went to the East Indies were later arsenal reworked as this one is.
I saw another at a gunshow here very recently which was also Vickers and very good condition but had a dated receiver and mis matched barrel.
Best wishes.
