: With what?? (Check and make sure if you're playing Dungeons and Dragons, or using an established expression.) / It's not a normal expression; have only seen it in Pyle's King Arthur. Anyway, omit def. article. For medieval image, say "with visor raised."

I belive if someone actually is wearing a helmet in a battle in some Medieval times, then that's the expression. Othervise, as I stated in the explanation to my question, it's simply "openly".

: He was going into battle with an open visor/umbril. Я абсолютно согласна. В английском языке есть полная копия этого выражения. Зачем заниматься иносказанием? :-)
