Crusades lasted for hundreds of years. There has to be one lying around. Is there a spcific battle or timeframe you are looking for?
It seems difficult to find photos of the originals on the internet, but if you go to wikipedia the photos they show are originals from museums. Here’s the link to the page for Great Helms – the typical crusading helmet.

If you have some books on the subject they often have decent photos. Even those old Eyewitness books on knights are good sources for photos.
MuseumReplicas.com carries authentic Medieval weapons and armor, such as this Crusader helmet.
