I've never seen one exactly like that. It being in a video game, I presume there is a bit of fantasy there. The one in your last photo is probably historic. I'm more interested in the little fellow on the left with the horns!  .....McM

That would be the horn blower of the Canton of Uri, whose heraldry uses canting arms with the head of the aurochs. The Osprey image is based on a miniature in the Illustrated Chronicle by Diebold Schilling of 1513.

Not at all. I was digging up some armor in the internet and actually find this gothic suit of plate harness (1484) belonging to Sigismund, archduke of Austria. It was made by a famous er at Augsburg:

I think there may be a small fantastic touch in that all the historical sallets of this type I can think of have hinged visors, whereas the ones in the game appear to be solid.

Okay....Let me rephrase that: " I've never seen a -solid- one like that."  Not to say there is/was no such thing....  ....McM

Surely the Sigismund harness has a straight visor slot, which is appearing angled due to the direction from which the picture has been taken?

And indeed, I stand corrected - a brief search unearthed a number of historical solid visored sallets. This video from Matt Easton features several, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwX2kkeMEOk
