sherrif of bullet valley #1 [study]

Inducks: ...
Barrier: ---
CBL: ---
Type: pencil on paper, signed.
Creation date: 1980s
Art: ---
Pencil: Carl Barks
Script: Carl Barks
Hero: [none]
Submission: [none or unknown]
Publication date: [2000] (Germany)
Issue: Galerie Laqua 2/2000
Pages: 1
Orientation: portrait
Width: about 21 cm
Height: about 24 cm
Finished version: Sheriff of Bullet Valley [oil painting idea] ?
Based on: bullets bounce off sheriff's badge

Additional credits: Numbered "1". Possibly intended as preliminary for Sheriff of Bullet Valley [oil painting idea], otherwise the purpose is unknown.
According to Galerie Laqua 2/2000, it's a study for a (never realized) cover of "The Carl Barks Library". (If that's correct, would that have been The Carl Barks Library - Set II?) This raises the question why Barks would make a new version of an already existant cover.

Publications:

Galerie Laqua 2/2000 (Germany)
greyscale

Notes: Other versions are sherrif of bullet valley #2 [study], and sherrif of bullet valley #3 [study].

Questions: Do you have more information on this material? Is there really a relation with "The Carl Barks Library".
