The recessed “water” surrounding the peninsula has a subtly pebbled, background field. The edge of the shield has a fine embossed line and a stepped down outer edge.The shield is mounted on a cut-out, rounded bottom, flat topped, shield shaped, field-grey wool base with an alloy backing plate with a protective, black paper backing.

The Bronze shields were to be worn on the upper left sleeve of the uniform. The color of the backing material was to match that of the uniform it was to be worn on.
