Alberto,
There is really no such thing as a "Swiss" helmet in the period you ask about (1510-1520), the armour worn by the Swiss mercenaries (if any) would be from one of two major sources. Either North Italian or South German which were the two major areas were armour was mass produced and then sold all over Europe.
Helmets in use would be either the last form of the sallet (schaller)or the newly introduced
Burgonet (Sturmhaube), the later was also known as a "Casquetel" in it's early North Italian form
