[Ansteorra] New Crowns and Coronets

[Deborah Wade]

Thank you for responding before I did.  
I know that when I was Kingdom Treasurer in the 90s the Crowns were in need of repair even despite the fact that they had been gently used only a couple of times. The purchase of new Crowns and Cornets is a wise investment of the Kingdom's funds especially with the effort being made to consult with the Herald's office and to get bids from our Artist around the Kingdom.

Those crowns are being stored by the Kingdom Historian.  They actually
aren't in great shape at all; the inner lining is gone, the stone black
stars are missing and more.  Not to mention they are oversized (for most
people) and unwieldy (for everyone; they are several un-joined pieces) to
wear.

Hrafn and I posted for photos with them on at 30th year:
