Nose Emblem 2003

My special edition 2003 originally came with a nose emblem that was the same as the 50th anniversary emblems on the front side fenders (only larger). The nose emblem was stolen and I can't find a replacement. I'm being told by dealers and after market sites that the nose emblem for the 2003 is the crossed flags in the circle (much the same as the rear trunk lid emblem).
Can anyone tell me where/how I can get a replacement for the original emblem? And, if the dealers are correct, what is/was the significance of the 50th anniversary logo as the nose emblem on a special edition?

I was looking through some vendor sites the other day and found one that had all the C5 emblems listed. Including 50th anniversary and Commemorative edtions. Sorry I can't remmber which vendor it was. Keep looking I know they are there, or at least advertised.

Try Corvette Central, they should all have them (about $50).
Here's a picture, I think there may be a close-up in my album, you can check it out.

This is the factory front fender emblem that came on the Anniversary Edition '03s.

No '03 came with a larger version of this on the front fascia from the factory. If you had something similar on there, then it was certainly aftermarket and no telling where it came from. The dealers and other vendors are correct in that the factory front fasica emblem was the same as the rear emblem, only it had two posts that stick down into alignment holes on the front fascia.

And what special edition '03 do you have?
