The inside of the front and back visors are black dyed. On the back visor is stamped in white lettering “J.R. 93” and “1914” (see photos).  The helmet from plate is the Line Prussian Eagle with the banner “Mit Gott fur Fuerst und Vaterland” with the silver star on which is mount the crest of the state of Anhalt (see photos).
