Peter,
I have recently seen a Bottecchia head badge or two on e-bay. I think Alessandro Nati, vintagebike_1976 has one. If he doesn't have one I'll bet he can get you one. (All the usual disclaimers apply).

Greetings, CR Mates---
Trying to put the finishing touches on a long-delayed mixte project for my niece (she's finally big enough to ride the 27" wheels) and am sans a headbadge. Looking for the typical '60s-era Bottecchia bird metal badge. Would like a decent one, but need not be perfect. Direct cash offers or leads appreciated.
BTW, the frameset came to me a couple of years ago as an extremely kind donation from a CR member. He will be helping to make a young lady very happy indeed on her upcoming 12th birthday. My heartfelt thanks to him.
Cheers to all--
