A non-magnetic metal ring surrounds the interior of the shell.

Two aluminum rings descend from the sides of the ring and retain a replacement two-piece chinstrap constructed of medium brown leather, fastened and adjusted with a functional magnetic metal buckle. Stamped onto the back of the skirt is a code of “1540”, with an additional stamp of “ET64” under the left skirt indicating manufacture by Eisenhütternweke, Thale, with a shell size of “64”.
