Looking for photos of armour in and out of use

I'm in the middle of writing up my masters thesis on the Reproduction of Late 15th Century German Armour steel, and I'm needing some photos to make it look pretty. Does anyone have some photos that I could use with permission? Or know where I can get some? It's mainly the permission to use that is the issue, since plagiarism tends to be an issue in a thesis

I'm after a pic of some full plate combat (or near full), and some of the armour itself (doesn't have to be original 15th C, but certainly authentic)

If anyone can help me, that would be great.

Would it be possible to get a copy of this thesis; either electornically or by cd, (reproduction and mailing costs covered, of course), when it is done?

As for pictures, I would try one of the large Auction houses, (Christies or Southebys), I don't know if they would allow reproduction but they do have nice clean pictures of items.

No problems, I would be more than happy to send a copy. I'm even thinking of uploading it to our local WMA clubs site.

It's mainly the reproduction rights that would be the problem. I figured any personal photos people on this board had would be the easiest to obtain permission for, and since it's pretty much only to put some example figures into large blocks of text, it doesn't have to be original or all that professional.
