Could you chrome barrel owners go into a bit of detail as to the markings and history of the chormed barrels you own? How rare are they? Who made them? How does the lifespan compare to an unchromed barrel?

Oh, as an aside, I wanna post this new smiley just cuz it's cool:

I had 3 chromed WW2 dater 8mm barrels, I sold two here and kept one for my self that is marked with HYQ had eagle and swastika. bluing on all 3 barrels are perfect and all have nice chrome barrel that shines like new. These could WW2 production that were never issued and later "refined" by bundeswehr in post war germany. It looks like collectors grade barrel.
