The Placard
forumghost:
Harry is a high level wizard guys, it's not that surprising that he can cast Identify.

And you certainly can't get the knowledge Harry has from the Web (even if Dresden could use the internet and worked out how to navigate it...).

I think a simple line about all the research he's been doing on the objects would have been enough. Not a line that he's been doing research. We've seen lines about his search for Elaine, Susan, and Maggie. Jim doesn't always show us the dead ends Harry goes down. Sometimes he just shows or tells us where he finally gets the answer. Like Conspiracy Theorist said, Harry has a lot of resources at his fingertips.

But prisons do have armories, so Demonreach could have one and it would make sense for an eternal prison have a way for the spirit to know what the armory is.

Uriel
Mab

Alfred has some difficulty communicating on Harry's level, but he should be usable at least for knowledge like 'point in that direction, add drop of blood, say the magic word to make it do its thing'. What exactly it does might be hard to explain, but for how to trigger it he should be able to reach Harry's level.
Also, there are books. IIRC Mab had a library. And Harry can request books from Mac's Backs'. And there's whatever books are in White Council HQ.
Can't explain why Jim didn't say anything about how Harry learned, but maybe he didn't want to make up more book names.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Minor spoiler for BG Harry had his library card withdrawn by the White Council apparently some time ago, so no to that source.
My theory is that they really revoked his card because they found he had used a piece of bacon as a bookmark, and that given in BG was merely a pretext.

So Harry just happened to be carrying a piece of bacon around in his pocket?? :-\
