Beginner's Grail Diary (Printable Pages + Inserts)

First of all, many thanks for sharing parfaitelumiere, will you please also share dimensions of this stamp please? My English is bad sorry so please have a look at joined pic here (great dimensions would be right in the center of perforations and if possible in millimeters but I will gladly deal with any measurements...). Many thanks in advance.

This will be very useful I think (first picture, it's a png file, with transparent background)
Second picture is a request, is there any high resolution file of that picture?
Here's a couple of high resolution versions of the image you are after.

I have some original stamps and the size of this stamp is 20mm across and 25mm down. It's only a small stamp and quite deeply purple.
 
will you please also share dimensions of this stamp please?
The stamp set is 40x48mm exactly, size for the set of 3, not individual stamp.
I created a pdf file with scaled stamps.

This is done, now time for printing and casting.

Which other official stamps can be made?
I don't see any stamp on the pinkerton letter enveloppe, at least en zenseeker, I see varions pinkerton design, but those seem to be fanmade.

There's also the postcard of the venice church which is sent to Indy but it uses the same purple stamp and Venezia stamp that are on the parcel.

Your props also has these example of the eastern telegram1725875302805.png1725875320842.png

Thanks, but those are replicas, I am looking for pictures of original only, as for now the only source I saw, showing the stamp on the telegram itself are replicas.
The postcard, is it original or replica?
Sadly on zenseeker, there is a screenshot of the enveloppe, but I didn't find the exact same screen cap on 4k screencap website, it would be great to find it, at least this is a trustable source.
Here is the color I would think as accurate, I enlarged file and cleaned some defects here and there, based form 4K screenshot.
What do you think?

Hally to know about that egypt and sinai map is inside the hero grail diary.
Is there any way to access the 100 files that were inside that ipad, on display at San Diego in 2010?
That would just be the perfect source!
I would like to try to find a way to scan that map, to offer a cleaned file, so people could have a 100% accurate replica for their hero grail diary, my map is the exact same type, no colored sea and lakes, all same color, exactly as the original used in the prop.
Maybe it would be a good idea to buy a good scanner.

There are a few different maps in the grail diary. Which one are you refering to? All of them are cut and paste from the source map shown in your picture with the exception of the hand drawn maps.

It's the big dead sea map,the one with hand writing, visible in the 2010 san diego video, on ipad, but I will check in cases maybe other maps could be from same large map.
Are all those maps shown here official inserts or some are from fan choices?
Are there some larger versions of them, so I can check if other could come from the same map?
 
This seems to be the correct camel pack, but it has been modified to hide bar code on side, they added a "30's style" text on side.

Another difference, smaller than the sides though, there’s no zip code on the back of the movie pack
some maps and camel pack references I have for the grail diary.

All the printed maps are from the same source image and isolated to produce the final maps. This has long be established and if you got to COW or ZENseeker sites you can find all the discussions about it there.
 
There are certainly many maps, but I can't find a truly accurate map like the original hero prop. I have converted the color map to black and white, then cropped and resized them, but when printed they lose resolution and looks a bit blurry

I found these 2 maps but were made in A3 size and my printer can’t print them, I haven’t a pdf editor and I couldn’t edit them in word, so if any can help me and edit them to be printed in a legal size sheet will be appreciated. The original map in the hero prop is 10cm height for 32 cm length according to the hero prop diaries I’ve owned.

I had the same problem, so I decided to source different (still appropriate) maps that I was able to print on my modest home printer.
 
The correct Camel Pack does NOT have the "Choice Quality" on the side. Also not "Camel 20"s" on the silver flap, but just "Camel". So the packs posted here are close, but not 100% accurate.

P.S. The Camel pack posted here by katmax are files I created years and years ago (I scanned them from a real Camel pack and cleaned them up). But in the meanwhile more info about the Camel pack was found and it turned out that pack was not the correct version.

Working on it.
 
I need to know the exact map size, from what I understand, it's less than 17cm wide, as the grail diary pages are about 16cm long, the map seems to be folded 3 times, making a total of about 30cm, the original map is about 34cm long, including rims.
For now my file is 4750 px wide, I can't make it 9500 pixel large file but the computer doesn't like it.
Once I will get the accurate informations, I will create two pdf, with and without handwritten text on it.
I also need any 100% accurate information regarding the other maps, so I can be able to make pdfs for those too.
Sadly the picture is a photography, with 90mm macro lens, and I saw there is a very slight barrel deformation, I will mke a better file once I get a scanner.
