It's in the Grades section on the home page. Scroll down to the bottom.

I see no issue on why this offering would not be considered legit as a factory original set, other than why is it not in a 3-bbl. case?

The engraved wedges and muzzle bands on the 16 gauge do not match the 20 gauge sets of barrels, and the rib matting is slightly different than the 20 gauge barrels. This is normal for this set ??

We know the Krieghoff supplied 16-ga. barrel sets had a different rib matting, I, too; noticed the engraved wedges and muzzle bands are slightly different as well, but I haven’t seen enough 16/20 bi-gauge A-1 Special sets to definitively say this set is not legit.
