Am I imagining this armor?

I'm seeking a splendid medieval armor. I've found Orleans armor, that fits the bill, but I'm remembering having seen another similar parade armor, I think presented on display rather than worn in the promo images. Maybe it was part of a larger set? Of armors/weapons? Or maybe included in a room?
In any case, I couldn't find it. Am I imagining it, or does this rings a bell with someone?

maybe the set in the Armoury https://www.daz3d.com/the-armoury-by-merlin
Probably MICK Armory.
Similar to the Orleans armor.
So, an ornamental armor with embossing on the metal?
One of these?

Medieval/Realistic Armor seems to be a tough nut to crack as most of Daz Armor products look to be interpretations of modern sca armor. A lot of period armor was closely fit to the body, or at least, they did a great job of following body contours.
Here is an example of Late 15th Century Gothic Armor
The dead give away is the legs... especially the shins/calves. Most modern interpretations are made from flat sheets of metal that are rolled into a cylinder, whereas actual 15th century armor was pounded out of a chunk of metal and forged into the shape of of a leg.
Methinks that most PAs now grew up with stylized Warhammer oversized armor and weapons that would just be too heavy and bulky to actually move around in, let alone fight a battle in. But hey.... Skulls!
When the character is wearing boots the size of 60 gallon paint buckets, you just gotta say... hmmmmmmm.......
I checked all the links, and even though some are interesting, none were what I had in mind. So, either I indeed dreamed it up, or it's not sold anymore, or I saw this on another site. Thank you all for the time taken to answer.
