Personally, I have been unaware of this edition of Parker Reproductions, so I did a Google search and came up with another that had been listed for sale. In terms of rarity, I guess one can take the number produced at face value -- that being 100, so that's quite scarce. In terms of value, IMHO you would have to find the right buyer to offer more than the current market value for 20-ga. Repros in the same configuration and condition.
Here are the distinguishing characteristics of this special edition that Ray mentioned in his post above:

What is the significance of 1B of 100 ?

Certainly appears to be a "B" rather than an "8" - and does seem quite odd...

I agree it does appear to be 1B of 100 rather than 18 of 100, however; the Gun Auction listing identifies the gun as 18 of 100.

The engraver has quite the imagination if that figure is intended to be an eight (8).
I did some searches on the history and evolution of the Arabic numerals and nowhere did an 8 look anything like a B. Just one guy's personal stylization employed there. .

I would pay hardly any more than a normal non-commemorative Repro IF IT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU. There were a few commemorative runs made. I just picked up a set of 28 gauge barrels that once went to a National Shooting Sports Fraternity commemorative gun. |
