i've been searching the internet for archeological finds of these helmets, but i've got nothing.
the only places i've seen this type of helmet, is on the bayeux tapestry.

The only one I know of is the wenceslas helmet, though it's made from a single piece.

Perhaps the most famous Spangenhelmen

I guess you need a helmet Norman
In this case, has already responded, Chad. :)

I have been wondering lately, why were the cheek and neck guards of early spangenhelm not present on later examples?

I know that there are many examples of earlier spangenhelm and only example from the viking period, but what other evidence is there to show that cheek and neck guards were not present on later helmets

Nasal helms are at times spangenhelms but at other times raised in one piece with the nasal being either part of the raised plate or a separate piece: In general look the " Norman " nasal helms tend to be called spangenhelm by error as Chad mentioned.

here, i made another picture:

segmented helms has been found. bandhelme has been found.
has there ever been found a norman nasal spangenhelm though?

I've never heard of a bandehelm. That's a new term for me. It just looks like a spangehelm with a less involved frame. Since it's still made up of pieces, "spangenhelm" is still an appropriate term, right?

Most spangenhelms seem to date from earlier than the centuries you're looking for. But here is one dated 8th-10th century. As of the late 1970s, it was on loan to the Tower of London from the Liverpool Museum.
