Man... you make it sound like I'm holding the file hostage or something. Let's make this clear, shall we.
You first asked on this thread here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=71235.0
Going down the thread:
-- I let you know about it when you first asked -- I sent the scan to sean-o-mac two years later, and nothing ever came about of that
Please don't come here and imply that I have all this exclusive artwork here that I keep all to myself and don't share with anyone. Jesus.
Yes... it's beautiful artwork on this bezel, just like on many others. So why haven't I cleaned it up yet? Because it is a shit copy of the original bezel. There is a ton of detail missing: cut off on top... cut off on both sides... WAY cutoff on the bottom.
Kinda like the bezels for Tecmo Knight and Tiger Road. They look real nice, for what's there, but still missing a lot of detail.
Unfortunately, I've never found another copy, and I've never even found pics that could help with that detail. So I've never gotten around to cleaning it up.
Link below to a Google Drive folder, with the copy of the scan. Have at it. If you can get someone to clean this up for you, I'd appreciate a copy of the finished version to add back to MAME Artwork. (As long as it's not that one guy... and you know who I mean... 'cause I'll never get the cleaned copy back from him).

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
