I recently read too that the base of the crown possibly was from the original crown worn by Edward the Confessor at his coronation. It would be fantastic if that is true to see that this Crown may be older than 1661!
Do you have a link to your message board?
First I've just added an edit to my previous, with more information about that fascinating possibility.
Here is the link to the original RCMB which will remain closed so as not to lose the wonderful contributions there by many people. The Feature thread links at the top can get you straight into great reading on those topics.
It also has a link to the RCMB Forum which I am developing but is not open yet. I want to get many topics started first, and to add the material I've been posting here.
