In the first instance I'd go talk to the local AO, if he still says no then I'd assume you need a lawyer which will cost a few bob, but you'd might well get it back.

Cheers for the info, have passed the comments on and informed him to talk to a barrister( there is one who advertises in the nz guns and hunting mag)
