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 ?

No. The object was immediatly shipped as a gift to a rival of similar rank...at a much earlier date. by F.J.'s ancestor. Both the giver and recipient considered themselves to be 'chivalrous' in the extreme! I have viewed the object personally on one of my 'Britannic sojourns'...practically a dead giveaway, given your knowledge of militaria.

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

Nope. The recipient was English and it is in England in a collection. When wasn't in a sallet, he wore an armet....

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.....< THANKYOU ROYALE ARMORY FOR GETTING US TO THE MOON FIRST!<RULE 1 OF SPACE TRAVEL: KEEP YOUR ASS COVERED AT ALL TIMES!

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..

^ 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

Let's narrow it down. Is this an Englishman?
