This type of centrally mounted visor on the hinge was popular in Germany and northern Italy in the 14th century. However, this attachment of visors also occurs on other helmets of the 15th century. The visor plate is shaped so that the blade blows slide on it so that the helmet does not have to absorb the full kinetic energy of the stroke. More information...
