Hey Guys, thought I would share what the postman brought me a day ago. NS 68 #6223 also came with the belt in pic's. Said to have been found in an attic of a house here in the U.S.
Toned Heer?

Very, very juicy and nice! Are you sure it's a Heer decal? Sure looked very gold. Even under the areas where a bit of the black meets the eagle design ... but whatever it's a wonderful helmet and a great find for sure.

That looks like a great original honest helmet (and belt). I think it could even be a KM decal?

Cheers, Ade.

Either way on the decal your new items look fantastic. Congrat's

That's were I'd put my money if I were a betting man.

Oh wait ... I am because I think that most of the stuff I have is good!

Thanks guys..I'm to new at this to make the call. It sure looks gold to me. Could possibly be a helmet NS reissue with KM decals from another maker?

Newbie question?? Is a toned decal a silver decal that has turned gold?

**Adrian Stevenson** · 04-25-2009, 10:03 PM

Yes, toned Heer decals are ones which usually have had a lacquer coating which has aged to a golden/yellow hue.

Cheers, Ade.

That does look like a KM decal, and being an ns one its a good possibility it is. KM decals were layered with gold flakes, they are quite prominent to see. The picture below is one I own taken through a loop....And its a nice lid, and belt rig too

Ok it's not very clear, but you should get the gist of it
