The waterwheel charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side recalls the "Brandmühle" on the Traunbach, an old gem polishing mill that was torn down to make way for the Traunbach valley road. The wavy bend on the same side is canting for the municipality's name, at least for the last syllable ("Bach" means “brook” in German). The pattern on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refers to the former holders of the "Vogtei" of Achtelsbach, to which Dambach belonged.
