You asked on IRC about using images already on Wikipedia. That's comparatively easy, particularly if the images are hosted not on Wikipedia itself, but on the Wikimedia Commons, the central repository for freely-licensed images. You may be interested in, for example, Category:Flintlock muskets (though you'd have to check which of those images are of the right weapons, of course). See the picture tutorial on how to add an already-uploaded image (whether at Wikipedia or at the Commons doesn't make a difference here) to an article or a draft.
