Hello!
On this topic it comes to my mind an interesting and recent book (in french) titled "Armement et auxiliaires gaulois (IIe-Ier siècles avant notre ère (2010)", which offers a renewed vision on the subject of gallic auxiliairies during the Late Roman Republic, with a nice catalog of archaeological finds.
Furthermore, on the late La Tene swords (La Tene D) you can find a large gallery in the volume: “Gewässerfunde aus Port und Umgebung. Katalog der latène- und römerzeitlichen Funde aus der Zihl (2002)”
More generally about the Celts in the Italian peninsula a very valuable job is the article (in french) of T. Lejars " Les Celtes d’Italie" (free pdf).
If you want, you can also take a look at this short thread where was also discussed the Celtic armament between 50BC-1st century AD
I hope this can be useful.
Best
S.M.
