Can someone help me re: Oklahoma state pin (the "OK" pin)

I am looking for a source for a photo of this pin. We are an educational, nonprofit website on official state symbols ( http://statesymbolsusa.org/ ) seeking an image / photo of the official state pin of Oklahoma adopted in 1982 ("OK" pin described below)

WHEREAS, the "OK" pin shall consist of the letters "OK" with a sky blue replica of the State of Oklahoma imposed over the letters. Inside the replica of the State of Oklahoma shall be a circular rawhide American Indian shield, with the lower half of the shield fringed with pendant eagle feathers, and superimposed on the face of the shield a calumet or peace pipe, crossed at right angels by an olive branch.

Check out the OK page if you're interested, just click OK on the State list or on the map. Thanks for any help!

I bet they have a pic you can get, maybe your own pin.

3. DId search for you, but came up with nothing re: photo

However, i have a friend who works at the OK capitol, and will ask her if she has seen this pin the next time we talk.
(I grew up in OKC, so the search for this pin is an interesting one for me :hi: )

4. Thanks!

Thanks! If you check out the website, you'll see that a lot of trouble has been taken to get good photos and explanations of the state symbols (website is still in-process, but OK is pretty well filled in). We'll keep working on getting a photo too but appreciate any help very much!
