Several more examples attached from Churburg and Leeds. The example in the OP is of a lower peaked without visor ( at least I so nothing for affixing one nor evidence that it ever had it ) that would date it stylistically to the 1340's - 1360's as it would have been worn with a late great helmet. A fine example of the type can be seen in the article on Colaccio Becadelli ( died May 3rd 1341 ) from his funnery sculpture in " Arms and Armor Annual " 1973.
