Default Repro 16ga. barrels

Prior to the actual closeout of Parker Reproductions which began in early 1995, Parker Repro in 1994, efforted bringing down their remaining inventory of 20ga. guns by contracting with Krieghoff to produce approximately 500 sets of 16ga. barrels to be fitted to Repro 20ga. 0-frame guns.

For those that know, own or have owned 20ga. Repros with a set of Krieghoff 16ga. barrels:
1. Were all of these approx. 500 sets fitted to 20ga. guns by Krieghoff --or-- were a portion of the approx. 500 16ga. barrels sold off individually?
2. Were any of these 16ga. barrel sets stamped with the serial number to the gun they were fitted to by Krieghoff?
3. Do all of the Krieghoff produced 16ga. barrels have the band of Repro-style engraving at the breach end of the barrels?
4. Were all Krieghoff 16ga. Repro barrels 28" long?
5. It has been reported that the 16ga. Krieghoff barrels were factory choked Q1/Q2, IC/M or M/F -- how are/were yours choked?

Bonus questions regarding the Galazan Repro 16ga. barrels:
1. Were all these barrels produced by Merkel in Germany?
2. Do we have an estimate of how many of these barrels were produced?
3. Do any of these Galazan barrels have the Repro-style engraving at the breach?
