    Queen Victoria had the biggest NZ collection back in the 1850's,mainly 3 band pattern 1853's, BP revolvers, Calisher and Terry carbines with Sniders a little later.as for the rest of the populace, generally muzzle loading BP muskets, flintlocks and BP revolvers.A read of some of the Maori Land War books as well as books on the "musket wars" where members of tribes who managed to get muzzle loaders from the Europeans, killed some 20,000 of other tribes members will provide a bit more information.
