Nieuwe Republiek Museum by Mark Gerrard Hanly

My maternal family came from vryheid and as a child i can remember going tt the family farm near vryheid before its incorporation into kwazulu in the 60s. the family name was de bruyn or sometime spelled de bruyjn. one of the pieces of the family folk law was that my great grandfather had a price on his head for shooting british soldiers. in our family collection was a gun said yo be his. Anyway my parents has passed away and now nearly 10 years after my mother's death I have started to go through the belongings. I have found an old German commission mauser which was supposed to belong to my great grandfather. it is of the type used by boer commandos. on cleaning 21 notches have been cut into the wood of the butt. could these represent the soldiers shot by my great grandfather ? there was supposed yo be a bounty on his head was there any truth to that. his name was Daniel Jacobus debruyn. I was also told that the family bible donated to the vryheid museum
