Now that you mention it, I have a neat picture of two mounted combatants in full
plate with Barred visors on their helms. The picture is from Hans Burgkmair's
"Turnier-Buch" and places the date of the pictured combat in "Anno 1482, 18 Tag
des Augsts" and the place as (sic) Haidelburg. They are fighting with wooden
clubs attached by a chain to their breast plates. I have seen similar pictures
elsewhere but this was both near at hand, and an original source.
