Default rare shovel

Anyone know where I may be able to get some close-up pics of the rear fender medallion for the 83 FXDG? It's impossible to find so I thought I could have one made.

Howdy again, bud. The fender badge was reproduced as a pin and is available on ebay. It is almost identical to the original except for four details: (1) the original badge has a single post on the back (about 1/8") while the repop has two pins typical of the design, (2) the original has a slight curve to match the fender while the clones are flat, (3) the clone is two tone to the originals polished brass, and (4) the original doesn't have the circle-R trademark.

There's another pin available on ebay, but the wings and font don't match the original:

Here's the original badge from my '83:




And here's the new-in-original-package badge I bought in '83 and a Raintree belt buckle with the identical badge:
