    Yes I have. Was this close to buying one on several occasions. It's, however, one of those medals surrounded in controversy as to what is real and what isnt. Much like the Memel medal debate :unsure:

    as long it has an Oval ring (attached to the ribbon), you can buy it....

    It may be interesting to those not speaking Dutch to have this translation of the legends on the medal :

    Obverse : National Socialist Movement - Leader Mussert

    Reverse : "W.A. marches - Christmas March 1942 - "Hou-Zee"

    W.A. = Weer Afdeling, in my opinion the Dutch equivalent of the German S.A.

    "Hou-Zee" is rather difficult to translate (perhaps "Hold firm" is close to it), it's probably best considered as the Dutch variation of the "Heil Hitler" greeting in Germany.

    And here's the reverse of the Mussert Cross :
