Background Information on Intermediate Badges from 1938 to 1963 roughly as follows :

1. 1938-1947: Silver Green fabric with extra material to “crimp” under

 Comes in Black stitching on the back OR

 White stitching on the back.

2. 1948-1954: Comes with the background ‘covert’ fabric of the Bright Medium Green Intermediate Uniform that most over-60 adults earned. Has extra material to “crimp” under.

3. 1954 Only: West Coast Cut or BMG Cut: Prototype Marrow Edged Badge. Same ‘covert’ fabric in front, but much smaller in size than the next issue of badges. MUST have a cheesecloth backing and a wide border of DARK green thread.

4. 1955-1960: Comes with the same ‘covert’ or speckled fabric with the edge of the badge sewn completely around in a small border of stitching. Comes with a Light Green border (thought to be leftover thread from the BMG badges,) and Dark Green border.

5. 1960-1963: Background material changed to a Light Green fabric that matches the 1963 Junior Uniform. The badges that were discontinued or sent to Cadettes with a yellow border in 1963, are VERY HARD TO FIND in the old design. To summarize, there were THREE places the Intermediate badges were sent:

a) Stayed exactly the same with a possible Name Change as a Junior Badge

b) Changed to a Cadette Level Badge with a bright YELLOW border.

c) Design permanently Discontinued
