The structure also features a complete brown oilcloth liner, with the crown retaining a transparent plastic rhomboid moisture guard. The interior is fully encompassed along the side walls with a brown leather sweatband measuring 42 mm in width. The chinstrap rests upon a protruding vulcanfibre visor, finished in a glossed black on the obverse and in a matte brown on the reverse. The cap band is also flanked on each side by a pebbled aluminum button which secured in place a decorative chinstrap constructed of multiple rows of twisted and rolled silver aluminum wire, adjusted with dual sliding knots. The former measures 70 mm (w) x 45 mm (h) overall. Pinned onto the cap band directly underneath the eagle is a multi-piece insignia consisting of a felt and non-magnetic metal tricolour cockade, set within an aluminum oak leaf wreath joined together at the bottom by a Reichsbahn insignia. Embroidered onto the peak of the cap is an insignia consisting of an aluminum Bahnschutzpolizei-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 62 mm (w) x 28 mm (h). Both the top and bottom edges of the cap band are trimmed with lengths of narrow white wool piping. The cap features cardstock-reinforced side walls, fully lined on the exterior with a smooth black doeskin wool cap band.
