Here is an unusual ribbon bar for the Dutch Mussert Cross. Does anyone have an original or any documentation for the cross?

Unfortunately i do not own a Mussert cross. They are very expensive (around €400). Weitze has two for sale. But I know something of the award.

Anton Mussert (leader of the national socialist party in Holland) instituted this award in the spring of 1942. It was awarded for bravery to Dutch soldiers who fought on the eastern front with the germans. It was not allowed to wear it on the german uniform. But the recipients could wear in on their NSB uniform in Holland.

Hello

There is a Dutch Mussert Cross over here for sale:

Enamel & brass medal on pin back ribbon with Dutch Colours includes ribbon bar. Unofficially awarded to Dutch Volunteers in the SS who served in Russia. Wasn't approved to be worn by Hitler! Scarce!
