Not a silly question at all, Fernando. This helm is described in the book as a 15th century kolbenturnierhelm, designed for the duel/tournament with clubs and rebated swords - slightly less dangerous than jousting with lance and sharp sword. But it is very similar (?identical) to the later Gioco del Ponte jousting helm.
