The crampon is indeed a period charge and was relatively common in period
German heraldry (where it was called a double-hook). 

German armory most often uses one, two, or three charges on a plain field.
If there are no conflicts, one of the following devices would be very good
style for German armory. 

Azure, a crampon Or (palewise)

Azure, two crampons addorsed Or  (palewise back-to-back)

Azure, three crampons fesswise in pale Or
