Crowns of the Queen, and of the King of the West -- these are the crowns still in use after many years, the photo was taken no more than three months after Henrik presented them to King Paul and Queen Carol, May 1-2, AS XI (1976). Details on the making of these Crowns can be gotten in the Annotated History for this event (Beltane, AS XI) as well as some information below.

From an email dated March 6, 2007:
"The West Kingdom solid silver Crowns were made in Caldarium by me. I took a
jewelry making course at College of Marin through the Adult Education program and
cast all the non forged fittings of the Crowns in solid silver, there. The Oak leaves for the
Crowns were made from leaves picked off an oak tree in San Anselmo, which was located on the side
of Bald Hill, overlooking the San Francisco Theological Seminary's San Anselmo campus,
where several Crown Tournaments had been held in the early years of the Kingdom, and where
several Old Timer's tournaments have also been held in more recent years.
"The solid sterling silver head bands of the Crowns, were hand forged by me at this same time, in Caldarium, as was final assembly of the Crowns." -- Henrik of Havn
