The point of so many cavalry sports helmets and face masks that have survived might just be as I have said earlier, that these very fine pieces of expensive equipment were indeed protected and kept only for special situations of the Hippika Gymnasia and not for battle at all.
There are however exceptions such as those similar to the Kalkreise and the Vechten and others that are even cast pieces that may have been worn by standard bearers in battle situations.
