Here to bring another post back from the dead. Any chance of restoring the pictures here? I am now also in the process of putting an armourers Kit together and there is some incredible info here. Thanks to all who contributed!

We have a number of reprinted tool catalogs here in the Gunsmith shop and you can rest assured they had excellent files and rasps. Had stichrd files and rasps cut far superior to machine cut versions.  If only we as good of a selection and the high quality that was available back then, that would be wonderful.
