Yes, Galazan advertised them for both Parker Repros and original Parkers. I do not know how many were produced, nor do I know of the quality. They were advertised as being available in Galazan catalog numbers 16, 17 and 18 for only $4800/set--they are absent from their latest #19 catalog. Here's a scanned copy of the ad offering that ran in Parker Pages in 2009-2010.

I bought a set of the 28" 16 gauge barrels back then and they were of very high quality. The only negative thing I could say about them was the non-original style of rib matting. Otherwise, well worth the money.
