The Mussert Garde Pin, created in 1939-1940, was a symbol of loyalty and service to the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB), led by Anton Mussert.
This pin was awarded to members of the Mussert Garde, an elite guard unit responsible for protecting NSB leaders and significant events. The design of the pin typically featured the NSB emblem, reflecting the organization’s ideology and dedication to the Nazi cause.
These pins are now rare historical artifacts, providing insight into the collaborationist activities in the Netherlands during World War II.
