There are five major file manufacturers (industries) in Europe :
"Made in Switzerland" ( Caution : "Swiss quality" ,"Swiss design","Swiss cut" does not necessarily indicate that the files
are actually made in Switzerland )
All the files that are made in Switzerland are made by Vallorbe.
Vallorbe brand files ( or the rebranded ones made by Vallorbe )
come in two variations :
Smooth DX cut files .
Mid-aggressive ,most common .
Product S/N :LC1000x-03-xxx
and
Second Cut MDX files .
Quite aggressive,not so common .
Product S/N :LC1000x-02-xxx

"Made in Germany"
All the files that are made in Germany are made by Pferd.
For example ,current Stihl files are rebranded Pferd ones ( Classic).
Pferd round chainsaw files come also in two variations : The Classic line ( orange band on the box ) are the coarser/ more aggressive and the Premium Cut files ( silver/gray band on the box ) are finer /smoother .

A good example of rebranded Bahco -Öberg files is the old
( and obsolete by now ) Oregon files.Very aggressive files.
2 ) Tomé Feteira
Exceptionally high quality files .
Does not rebrand it's chainsaw files,from what I'm aware of .
