Subject: [CR]Bike Shop decal/sticker?

I am wondering if this might ring a bell for someone.

On my early 60's Cinelli SC, I can see the residue of a decal/sticker on the seat-tube that is probably a shop decal and possibly the shop that it came from.

The shape is a shield with 3 peaks, the center one being higher. The height is 1 1/2" tall and 1 1/8" wide. It looks like the outside border was blue and I can see some red in the inside and that is about it.

I don't think that many shops were selling Cinelli in the early 60's, KOPPS, Cupertino, Velo Sport, American Cyclery....??? Did any of them have a shop decal that might have included the above?

The shape makes me think that I have seen it on a bike pictured on CR or Wool Jersey but I can't seem to find it.

Ring a bell for anyone? Early 60's, Cinelli, Shield shape, Blue outline, red field or type inside?

Thanks
