[QUOTE="Rabe, post: 3659184, member: 18695"]Hi. I will. I did contact an auction house to help. There is no question that it is real, i just need them to authenticate it. I am not willing to sell it, just want my documents to be right. My great grandfather had a farm, do not know lots about him but my mom told me that it was the same farm in the movie. They did a movie about his life and they used the same farm for the shoot. She recognized it when she watched the film. Eugene N Marais staid by my great grandfather and he wrote "Winter Nag". The newspaper published it and the original copy of the poam he gave to my great grandfather. He stuck a copy of his picture next to the hand written poam and a copy of the newspaper clipping when it got published. He always talked about it to people who visited them. When he passed away he gave it to my grandfather, who hanged it up in my moms bedroom. Still the same frame. Since she could remember it hanged in her room. They lived on a farm by Swart-Water. This is a peace of history you will never get again.[/QUOTE]
