Maybe Reichsapfel or Reichskleinod

Fat Fred

Or given the metallic color - Lead Fred.

I rejected Lead-Ass Fred because it just doesn't have that visual "sense" of being necessarily exceptionally slow. For a VSF tank anyway...

Gracias,

Otherwise The Königsberg if it's got to be something culinarian. It's not a Wurst for sure.

Lovely piece! "Klöpsken" (d.h. "little meatball") sounds funny, and it has an umlaut. Note that the Currywurst is a post-war invention and would therefore be an anachronism in a Victorian setting.

Might I suggest "Zankapfel", which is a German equivalent to the English idiom "bone of contention".
