I was introduced to rapier as " it is italian street fighting"

There are no helmets in that..

A heavy fighter on the field is commonly identified by his painted shield. Whether you know his/ her name or not..

I am sorry but renaissance clothing does not identify the person. Since we  cant see a face, and a buckler is really small, this is a good way to show who you are to onlookers..
