Originals of these are very rare, & they have been heavily faked, many of which are a high quality. Unfortunately this is one of them, an easy version to spot as they should not have screw fixings.

Sorry

No chance, eh? Well that's a drag as it's an attractive badge/pin. Thanx Don!

The Mussert-Garde was a Netherland NS organization like the SS in Germany, founded 1933 and helping the National Socialists in the Netherlands to secure their actions and meetings. Henk Feldmeijer was one of the first to organize this unit.
