Nah it is about "Conan der barbar" = "Cnn dr Brbr" without vocals.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger is of course Rnld Schwrznggr.. so primeval that there were no vocals at Conan's time.
40-year-old joke here..

But so i guess this medal or whatever was not worn by him ?

NOPE: YOU'RE ABOUT 500 YEARS TOO LATE Big hint: Conan it aint; but Konrad it was....

I have viewed the object personally on one of my 'Britannic sojourns'...practically a dead giveaway, given your knowledge of militaria.

Jimbuna · 04-09-20, 07:05 AM

So are they spectacles?

Aktungbby · 04-09-20, 10:37 AM

NO BUT THE OBJECT HAS SPECTACLES ON IT AS THE RECIPIENT WORE THEM DUE TO NEARSIGHTEDNESS. IT IS SURMISED THAT HIS COURT JESTER MIGHT HAVE WORN THE ITEM. HERE'S A LITTLE MORE

16th-century helmet of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria.

The ‘horned helmet’ of Henry VIII?

Aktungbby · 04-09-20, 12:01 PM

bingo!

The rest of the suit, a gift from Maximillian I, has disappeared. Henry was nearsighted and wore spectacles. OL' MAX PROBALY SENT IT AS GIFT TO MOCK YOUNG HANK. The helmet is an armet style. Over to you.

MAXIMILLIAN I RETAINED A SIMILAR SUIT ALSO MADE BY FAMED AUSTRIAN ARMOURER, KONRAD SEUSENHOFER FOR HIMSELF:

BOTH VAINGLORIOUS POMPOUS MONARCHS, MARRIED NUMEROUS TIMES, MUST HAVE BEEN....HORNY BASTARDS INDEED!

HENRY MADE SURE ENGLISH ARMOR WAS UP TO SNUFF

AND HELPED GET NASA TO THE MOON WHEN NOT SANS CODPIECE BEDDING HIS WIVES, SISTERS-IN-LAW, AND COUNTLESS WENCHES, OL' HANK KEPT HIS ASS COVERED

AT ALL TIMES; AND HIS FIELD ARMOR WAS STUDIED TO CREATE SPACESUITS.....

I would never have found that, never saw it or heard of it either

A rather ridiculous kind of 'armour', truly fitting to those in power at all times

very nice, this was..

Aktungbby · 04-09-20, 01:02 PM

^ WELL IT WAS A 'PARADE ARMOUR'; IMPRACTICAL FOR COMBAT. MOREOVER IT WAS PROBABLY INTENDED AS JEST TO YOUNG HENRY VIII BY THE OLDER POLITICALLY SAVVY MAXIMILLIAN I. PS: PICKING SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T GET WAS VENGEANCE FOR YOUR GLORIOUS VICTORY IN 'WHACK EIN EICHHÖRNCHEN!'

I'll put something up tomorrow, nearly time for the 8pm doorstep applause for our NHS staff.

GOD BLESS EM

Jimbuna · 04-10-20, 05:23 AM

Who might this be?

Catfish · 04-10-20, 05:36 AM

A statue.. probably well-liked by pigeons all over the world. There must be ten-thousands of them
