Without knowing if it is a Bolt or semi-auto and the serial number, can't help. Initials, might be the engraver's. However, most Grade II's were not signed.
You have a standard Auto 5 shotgun with grade I engraving. The initials PV that you refer to are a proofing mark which is found on both the receiver and barrel. PV stands for "Poudre Vive" which means smokeless powder.
Production figures are rarely released by Browning. Perhaps they may give you that data being a high grade gun. It is not published anywhere that is available to the public. Recommend you contact the Browning service center at link below.
I would need to know if we are talking about a browning auto-5 shotgun made in 1904?Please let me know and I will be able to give you a accurate value of your shotgun.Also include if it is a standard model or a grade II,Grade III, etc.
1k give or take a few hundred

You did not give the sn. Call Browning.
Vslue is driven by make, model, grade, and condition, You gave us one of the four. Browning shotguns may range from $100 to several thousand. A hands on appraisal will be more accurate than an estimate we can give with seeing the gun.
