    SP45,

    I can find bits and pieces but not a tremendous amount regarding price:

    "About 1906 the Batavia Special with "same-tensile" steel, S with "Fluid-Tempered" steel barrels [eventually replacing the B Grade], and R (eventually replacing the A grade) with Krupp or Damascus steel barrels were introduced. R Grade engraving changed to a single dog looking up at a single bird on each side. A high grade trap gun with "Holland Fluid Steel" and special engraving was also offered."

    I did find this on another site but it's another auction site so I'll pass it along in an e-mail to you.

    Best.
