I am searching basically any info on this visor, from which book is the picture with inscription, is it a real 15. century piece, if so would it be fastened to bascinet, sallet, or some other type of helmet, also is it in a museum (which one), private collection, auction house, etc...
Any help would be appreciated

That italian visor is quite intimidating

Boris, you are not wrong!
The visor is in the Museum of Kardzali.
Unfortunately, it's classified wrongly - as an artifact from the Antiquity  . Otherwise, our re-enactors' assessment for its dating is about 1350-1370 - second half of the 14. C

The more I watch this visor, the more it reminds me of this transitional helmet from ending of the 15.century
