Austin explained this "F.9.R." stamp some time ago. It would take me days - even weeks to find his reference to that in all the records I received from him. And I think the "B" preceeding the serial number has been discussed before too... possibly by Austin too. Chambered for the 12B cartridge possibly? just a guess.

That gun is a Dollar Grade, an A equivalent as you titled it, with those wonderful Laminated barrels found only on the higher grades of that era. Nice gun I'm sure.

Check Parker Pages Volume 8, issue 2, for the article "F.9.R Mystery" by Ron Kirby.
