I'm looking for an early Wilier Headbadge

I picked up a Late forties/early fifties Wilier from another list member this week. Beautiful bike and a fantastic project to put it back to where it should be...(thanks Matt)...

I may need some parts, bits and pieces, and may swap out some rusty bolts and screws for period bolts and screws sans rust...or I may not. I havent' decided yet. The bike has most of it's correct parts already - However, it is without headbadge. Seems like who ever repainted it in the seventies with it's horrendous current color (presumably over the original copper) removed the headbadge to make the frame look more up-to-date.

So - the best christmas present this year, would be if another member out there had a correct Wilier Headbadge they would be willing to sell, or knew of someone who might have one...I have had no luck so far in my search. And over the last few months looking for a Wilier - haven't even come across one...but now I have the bike and the real search is on...

Now - bits I would like to find are: period toe clips early Amdrosio bars in 40-42cm width (long shot) Seat Post Brake shoe holders for Universal Extra brakes correct fenders for a late forties Wilier (or close enough) was anyone using alluminum fenders that early?

Thanks all, and Happy Holidays
