Looking for Richmond Old Style Bold Compressed

Hello everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place to this question... Recently I bought a woodtype set of DeLittle’s Richmond Old Style Bold Compressed, but it lacks de “g”, “j”, “p”, “q” in lower case. I guess, as they are taller, the previous owner kept the lower case letters with descenders in another case. Meanwhile, I got to know that Richmond Old Style was issued by the Blackfriars Type Foundry in the 1920s and it was also sold by Stephenson Blake and appeared in their catalogs. I was wondering if anybody would have the wood letter or catalogs and could help me with a print or photo of this letters in order to draw them and get them made in wood to complete the set? Especially the "g" and "j". I saw a DeLittle's catalogue but unfortunately the missing letters are not shown in the catalogue page.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you very much
Manuel Diogo

    Rowan Oak NF by Nick Curtis (Nick's Fonts) is a digital version (2007) but only in bold and not condensed.
