Thank-you. We have that image already at:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FBI_Badge_%26_gun.jpg

Ironically, it is not used on any articles, but is used here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_FBI

Hopefully, once this image is cropped and used, the other one can be
speedily deleted as "inadequately sourced" or something.

I can't add this to the deletion discussion at the moment, so
hopefully someone else who agrees with this will.
