NSB Five Years Service Badge - Reverse. 7474 - Marrikia Del Baere .
This award comprises of a
triangle measuring 18 mm by 21 mm and has the standard membership badge of the
NSB at its centre. In this case, the
membership badge itself measures 14 mm by 15 mm. The badge is halved by a thin line and a
small shield with similar outline is positioned with its point at the
bottom. This shield is segmented by
three equal horizontal lines and on to the centre is superimposed the rampant
lion of the Netherlands. The fields of
the shield are filled with translucent orange enamel, opaque white enamel and
opaque dark blue enamel. In the points
of the triangle are the metal capital letters, 'NSB'. The halves of the shield are filled with opaque
black and translucent red enamels. The
outer edge of the badge has a fine raised line and a recessed field with an
inner border bounded by the enamelled membership badge. The recessed field has at its upper tip a
small, raised '5' and on its two sides eight sprigs of double oak leaves,
placed tip on stalk, surmounted by a single leaf. Across the bottom in raised capital letters,
is the inscription, 'HOU EN TROU', which translates to, Honour and Loyalty or
Steady and True. The metal parts of the
badge are fire gilded.
The reverse of the badge is flat
with a circular plate, through which is placed the shank of a long needle
pin. It has also been suggested that the
female form of the badge was mounted on a brooch bar. However, the actual piece used for the
description belonged to a female member of the party, Marrikia Del Baere. A number is stamped into the badge and it is
assumed that this is the number of the award as opposed to the Stamboek or
membership number of the recipient.
This badge was issued for five
years membership in the NSB and was known as the Vijfjarenteken, Five Year
Badge, or the Hou En Trou Badge and was given to those who had held membership
for the period of time and upheld the party's principles.
It is unusual to be able to give
provenance to such badges but, in this case, the recipient gave me the badge
and her details on a dated letter.
Marrikia Prins was born on 25 September 1896 in Hamburg. She married Dr. Louis J. Del Baere and they
lived in the Dutch East Indies. They
returned to Holland where they were concerned at the communist and anarchist
threat. They had joined the NSB in 1934
and were high ranking, active members, being personal friends of Marinus Rost
van Tonningen. In the war, Dr. Del Baere
joined the Waffen-SS and saw service on the eastern front. Incidentally, he persuaded his nephew,
Johannes Nicolaas Munk who joined on 28 May 1942, to serve alongside him. The recipient worked on NSB literature during
the war, with the outcome that her husband was imprisoned for three years and
she was imprisoned for one and a half years at the end of the war.
