My 1977 Nishiki Landau came with Kyokuto Top-Run pedals. They look somewhat like these, http://tinyurl.com/ycanfoz* * except the bodies were multi-piece chromed steel instead of the one piece alloy shown. I actually replaced them with better Sakae/Ringyo (SR) pedals that looked almost exactly like the ones shown. As for a headbadge, did you try contacting Randy Fox in Northern Ontario, <randyjawa@hotmail.com> ?
