a) :registers
b) :echo @1

Since the 1 register "contains the text deleted by the most recent
delete or change command," it was overwritten by the "2 line
deletes" of your command. See
:help quote_number
It would be better to record into a register whose name is a letter
rather than a number so that it won't be overwritten unless you do
so explicitly. See
:help registers
