The Grail Diary would not be complete without these inserts and extras:



Here are two versions of the LARY transfer ticket. Both are printed on blue card stock and are double sided.. The top one is based on photos of the original and on the back side has the "Lines of LARY" info that you see in the archives photos. The bottom one is based on an original 1937 transfer ticket. It is known that two tickets can be found in the original prop, but they are possible both identical.

This replica of the 1899 Silver Certificate that is affixed to one of the pages in the diary can be ordered whole, or cut like the one in the original prop. This replica is printed in colour, but does not look as crisp as a real dollar bill; I don't intend to go to prison for counterfeiting! The serial number on this bill matches the one in the diary shown in the archives book. It is known that this serial number is not the same for all the original props used in the film.




I've made two versions of the wrapper, both made with thick brown paper, the stamps and mailing label pasted on separately. The Venice postmarks are then printed on. The first version is an envelope, whose sized was based on the measurements given in the archives books. The second version is a smaller scale wrapper tied to the diary with twine.

For those who wish to make their own wrapper, I can provide you with replica stamps and mailing label in either size.




In the film, Indy's secretary gives him a stack of mail with the wrapped diary. Amongst the mail was a prop letter which I have accurately replicated. The same stamp and postmark have been replicated from the original prop.

To the left is a replica of the photograph of Indy and Henry seen in the film; to the right is a memorial card of Indy's mother, Anna. This insert is double sided, the back having a traditional prayer for the deceased.

The Roman Numeral scrap is an easy enough to make, but for accuracy I printed it from scans of the original.

The George Washington Quote scrap is one of the most easily recognizable inserts in the diary; it sticks out of every picture seen in the archives book. Here is a full, two-sided reconstruction of this insert. It is based entirely on the Declaration of Independance, with slight modifications to fit what is known about this insert.

To the right is the insert seen opposite the Omphalos page in the archives book. It is the same page on which the 1899 Silver Cert is pasted. Pencilled on the side is part of a Cruciform Sword Cross, to the bottom left is a crescent shaped mountain.

This insert was redesigned from the one found in the computer game diary. It is an Italian telegram from Codirolli to Henry, informing him of clues to the Grail.

Above is a full sheet Zeppelin ticket replica, folded in half like the ones seen in the film. It has two stamps, dating the use of the ticket by Indy. The ticket is entirely filled out in Gothic script, the old German handwriting style preferred by Hitler and the Nazis. Indy uses an alias on this ticket, Heinrich Widerstand (a German translation of his old French alias, Henri Defense). To the right is the deluxe version of this insert. It is printed on high-quality linen paper and has two coloured stamps (red & purple).

Shown below is another travel document, a steamer ship ticket documenting Henry and Indy's journey home after the events of the Last Crusade. This replica was copied from an actual prop used in the film, possibly inserted somewhere in the prop diary.

LEFT: A letter from Wolfgang Staubig, a German who passes on information to Henry about a manuscript attributed to Merlin with Grail references. Staubig's signature is in the old German Gothic script.

RIGHT: A letter from al-Jawf, an arab who informs Herny about a possible description of the Grail. Al-Jawf signs his name in Arabic.








Printed on newsprint paper, this article (at left) tells of the discovery of what might be an eyewitness account of Joseph of Arimathea.

To the right are two articles, one with more clues of the description of the Grail and the other a story about Henry's son adventuring through China in search of lost artifacts.








Mentioned in the Computer Game Diary, this is a translation of a Welsh poem written on a rules sheet for the Purple Dragon Inn, where Henry heard the bard sing this song. It is two sided; the side shown having Henry's thoughts on the poem, the back side having the translation itself.




To the right is a replica of an actual vintage night club ticket in Constantinople, good for one free drink









These are replicas of two timetables torn out of an actual vintage Turkish guide book. Both sheets are two sided, giving the departure times for boats and trains.

A letter from another one of Henry's aquaintance-informers tells him of Sir Richard Burton's lost letters which contained information on the holy Grail.
