WTB: 70s Fuji head badge
Looking for a presentable head badge with original finish. Cash deal is easy but if you prefer a trade tell me what you seek.

Thanks for the reply! This one looks a bit different than others I have seen- squatter appearance and with "FUJI" in much larger font. I guess I need to reasearch to make sure it is correct for my 77, soon to be repainted! Standby...

I snagged this from the Goodwill for cheap to harvest some bits off of it. It's called a "Special Tourer". I deciphered the serial number easy enough on T-Mar's serial no. sticky but I can't remember the particulars.

These are the 2 badge styles from the 70's I know of: (round on 72 Finest, narrow on 77 America). I have a loose round badge available.

FBOATSB dmark ,Thanks guys. I found a couple pics of 77 Professionals (that is what I am repainting) with the narrow style badge. Tomorrow I am looking at a donor frame locally. It is a Ace model, so maybe around 1990. To me it looks like a match. Here is a pic of the Ace head badge:
