It's a shame they didn't come up with a way to protect the eyes. For some reason, when looking at these photos, that's the first association that comes to mind – something hard and sharp passing through these holes and pressing against something soft and very delicate.

And it's definitely not for historical accuracy: this helmet wasn't even found in metal; there are only 3 pictures of it. And sometimes, a halberd really does fly into the gap, and more than one of us has lost an eye because of it. But we're HMB fighters, we're crazy, we've gone mad, we've thrown common sense and safety to the wind, so 50% of orders to blacksmiths are still for this type of visor.
