Rare Chrome piece on tailgate handle???

Well, thought I would ask the professional but they aren't around so I'll ask you guys

I have had 3 people now tell me that the chrome cover on my tailgate handle was hard to find and rare..

So I have been looking at couple other '72's on here in magazines and around town..

And i'm beginning to think that I am the only one that has this or the PO made it..
All it does is wrap around the tailgate handle..
I would show a pic but I'm at work..
SSSSShhhh don't tell..

Thanks guys

Not a close up picture. This was from a first post of mine when I joined. I have since gotten The letter "c" from a fellow board member. Thank you beautimus..

You can see the cover on the handle.
