[-Denethor's armour]

I think we can mostly rule out Forlong - his armour is incidental - and Denethor - his status as a commander is titular at best.

The first ambiguous question was 'is it man-made', which was answered with a flat yes. So that points away from the Witch-King, whose armour was quite likely made by either Orcs or Sauron in person.

That leaves two, and of the two Aragorn is the most prominent, and may also account for the 'made me gasp' reaction (since I namedropped him as well). So:

Is it Aragorn's armour?
