I guess my point is that Gibbs used 'B' prefix numbers even when rebarreling their own rifles which they themselves manufactured.
Interestingly, another Gibbs Farquharson I own was rebarreled by Gibbs but has no numbering anywhere on the barrel at all.

Yes, I agree, as Gibbs used "bought in" barrels for rebarreling. BTW, many of the .256 barrels on Gibbs Farquies I have seen look a lot like Steyr military barrels (spares?)to me, maybe rethreaded to fit the actions, but the shape is the same.
