Colt 1991-A1

My memory is failing me again and i can't seem to find a reference. What is the weight on the original recoil spring in a Colt 1991A1?

In my bin of stuff, I found three 16# springs. Since I have changed out all of my Colt 1911 springs for heavier / lighter ones, they must have been the originals...
