Description

BSA MACHINERY Merit Badge Type E (47-60)CRIMPED NARROW BORDER   B00063f
Type E -- 1947 through 1960 - Khaki Narrow Border Crimped
This type was the same as Type C and Type D except the khaki color was a definite dark green rather than a pale olive green or tan khaki of previous issues. Also, the material reverted back to a heavier twill used with Type C. Generally, if the green color is questionable, it is pale olive green and is Type C. However, one needs to be careful before making the final determination based on design or other criteria such as the glue-like stiffening coating on the back of all mint Type E merit badges. There is some confusion about the term khaki but it is most widely used in describing this type.
