I'm searching for 15th century examples of original or presentations of burgonets.

Burgonets are a form specific to the 16th century (1500s). You may find an outlier or two that date to late in the century, but most books cite them as originating in the early 1500s.

The fresco at the Palazzo Publicco in Sienna http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=26001, created before 1407, has some helmets that could considered burgonets although these may be artistic shorthand. There are also other 14C artwork often depicting Roman soldiers wearing burgonets like helmets. So there may be evidence of burgonet like helmets before the 16th C.

Reliquary of St. Ursula by Hans Memling http://www.wga.hu/art/m/memling/4ursula/36ursu06.jpg 1489 c (of course that is pretty close to 16thc) has a has what looks like a proto burgonet to me. -located background centre left and wearing a red shirt and maybe getting shot in the back of the head-

Note: I as you likely know, when dealing with any image that shows a Roman soldier, the common counter argument is: The burgonet like helmet is added to show that this is a Roman and does not represent a helmet worn when the art work was created.

And the next generations started to produce such form of helmet being inspirated by those fantastic pictures Wink
In my work, I wrote one article were I mentioned that problem. This is why I am sure that there is no sense in treating representations of helmets which were very popular in using about 25 years later, as fantastic imaginations.

Mail leg harness, floating artulation on the knees and arms and burgonet like peaks/visor. These armours look very similar to armour in fresco at the Palazzo Publicco. Without the looking at the helmets, I would guess 1370s?

I think it is by Spinello Aretino or of the same school
