Thank you Jean-Marc,
In looking at the photos of the helm you have posted against those in the example published in 1977 I have described, there are remarkable similarities which might even suggest these could have been from the same workshop. In the published one (sold at Sothebys in 1974) there is a hook or some type of fixture atop the dome, where the one you post there is a hook resembling some type of belt hook if I see it correctly at the back, while the dome seems unappended.
With this I would estimate this one to be contemporary (based on visual assessment) to those which are as noted English and of about 1370. This may be essentially a fourth of the type from this particular dating, and as noted possibly from the workshop of the one to the Royal Armouries in 1977. Naturally my opinion would defer to those here far better versed in armour, Alan being probably the most experienced.
All the best,
Jim
