For what it is worth, I have access to the rivets used to attach head badges. They are tucked away somewhere. I should look for them and let you guy/gals know what to purchase when you need the correct looking round head rivets. Oh, they are stainless steel but not all shiny and they look just fine.
Yes, let us know.
I removed mine buy cutting the portion of the rivets that protruded to the interior of the head tube. As to not take chances of inflicting damage to the badge.
