In the last years some further investigations in this helmet have been done.
S. Matesic has made a new digital reconstruction of the "crown" (which was most probably found in its parts and reconstructed as a crown later on - three different versions of this are known). Her interpretation has the parts mounted on a now mostly lost iron core and shows that it could have been a fully functional rear part of the mask helmet.

Th. Fischer has written an article on his theory that the silver face mask has been made of a lifesize gallic statue.
Bemerkungen zum sogenannten Gesichtshelm aus Thorsberg
The Thorsberg Bog find is recently in a new four-volume publication and vol 3 (the armour and weapons) which will be published end of 2014 will discuss the mask helmet too.
