It depends on period ,country and fashion the Savoyard helmets and Maximilian helmet are mostly with one piece visor but cuirassiers helm from the early 17th and European heavy field helmets from 1550- 1590 are mostly iwith separate ventail and visor.. also on cuirassiet helmets when in one piece visor always accompanied of a peak pivoted at the sides of the skull.
