fake Mussert crosses?

I noticed this thread has dried up with a question still unanswered. Someone stated that this medal has been faked a lot. I would like to see a reproduction of this medal with high standards as this one.

Please show a detailled picture or a link to a URL where I or maybe even we can see one or two.

As I stated earlier in this thread, I have not ever seen a fake one before so I am curious as to what it looks like.

regards,
DJ

I do not believe this medal is fake a lot.

The medal itself is not that rare, after the war a lot of them were found in Holland.

There is another thread about this medal.

Best regards,

Rene

Can someone tell me what this medal was given out for? I have never heard of, nor seen one of these before. I am fairly new in collecting and would appreciate some help from "you pro's".

Thanks----Brian

Early in 1942, Anton Mussert, leader of the N.S.B. (Nationaal Socialistische Beweging, the only political party allowed by the German occupation regime), created this award for Dutch volunteers serving with the Nazi forces on the Russian front. Although some crosses were manufactured, it was never issued as Hitler forbade its award. The front side shows gilt wolf hook over swastika with oak leaves. The back side shows around the top edge of the circle the motto of the NSB in gilt "Hou En Trou" and oak leaves on the bottom edge. The centre of the disc has the name "Mussert" and "1941."
The ribbon shows the Dutch National Colours. From left the right the ribbon colours are sky blue, white with thin orange strip to the centre, white and sky blue. The award was never authorized by Hitler to be worn on German uniforms.The reverse "HOU EN TROU" (loyal and true) reflects the N.S.B. slogan.
