This unique prop replica is an exact reproduction of the hero prop used
in the film. It contains 282 pages, in the exact order and ream configuration
as the original. The entire books is carefully stitched together, aged and bound
in gorgeous brown cow leather (just
like the original).
-contains ALL 63 pages found in the hero prop.
-pages repeat in the exact order as the original.
-contains ALL 20 inserts of the original.
-details on pages are crisp and clear.
Since the pages are hand cut and the book is bound by hand, it is the exact
size of the original (apx 6 1/2", 4 1/4", 1 1/2"), fitting snuggly
into a leather jacket cargo pocket.
NB: This reproduction is that of the original prop, for more informations on
my fictionalized replica (the diary that Henry would have actually carried)
go to this Grail Diary page.
The stained glass window in Venice that led Indy to the knight's tomb. Two of the most famous inserts can be seen: George Washington's quote & LARY ticket. |

One of the obstacles to the Grail. |

The Omphalos in Jerusalem |

"The Leap from the Lion's Head" |

I also reproduced all twenty inserts found in the original prop,
including:
two extra versions of the "Map With No Names",
four different maps of the Dead Sea region,
two different LARY train transfer tickets,
two full colour reproductions of vintage currency,
a hand-made rubbing, including an accurate upper portion from Sir Richard's
shield,
Shown
to the right are five photo reproductions I made to accompany the Grail Diary.
They show Henry and young Indy during his early years of childhood. They are
printed on high-quality photopaper, with the photographers logos printed on
the aged backing.
I also made this replica wrapper in which the diary was shipped to Indy. It
is complete with replica Italian stamps and Venice postmarks. Also shown are
four envelopes to Indy and Henry, all of which were seen on film.
This is an extremely accurate replica, down to the last detail. The stitched,
elastic band can be put vertically (as in the film) or horizontally (as in the
archives book).
For
fellow replica artists, I can make a blank book,
hand-stitched and bound in leather with the elastic band... the perfect start
to your own replica... or just a great travel journal! I can also pre-age the
diary for you, by request.
