20 gauge hammer guns were made up into the 160,000 SN range, so since there already existed tooling for 0 framed 16 and 20 gauged guns, it wouldn't have required much work to build one in 28 gauge. It may have turned out a little heavy, but certainly no more than an 0 framed hammerless 28 when compared to the typical 0 framed 20.
As there were several American gun makers,and plenty of British and continental makers turning them out, it does make one wonder why Parker never did.
