Hi all,
 Looking for a decent image of the Zak crown, can anyone help?

Cheers,
Bob

Von Bob, If I knew when he reigned I may be able to tell you where he left it. ...I'll get my coat.
What in heaven's name is it?

Cheers,
Ernie

He's talking about the logo for the German inspectorate

Not great but you can kind of sort of make it out here:

Bo = Bingo! 

I will try to draw one from scratch. Not ideal, but what else is a man to do?! 

Cheers,
 King Von Zak

The crown will probably be based on the crown of the german Kaiser, but will just be small graphic. I suppose you could draw it based on the crown itself. Something like this:

Depending on the angle you are looking at it, it will have 3 or 4 parts, if you understand me

Hope you'll find something you're looking for. Not the real ZAK crown though, but a few hints.

I'm sure there is a good image of the crown and stamp out there somewhere... I'll be on the lookout

Here is my scratch drawn elementary effort 



I'm hoping to cut out the crown with my vinyl cutter - I will let you know how it goes.

Why not contacting the team at TVAL? Their replicas should be fitted with ZAK stamp replicas, methinks.

ZAK = Zentral Abnahme Kommission = Cental Acceptance Commission, a division of Idflieg

not a ZAK stamp but you can make out the imperial crown pretty well here in this bayonet stamp:
