The following three pics are all Parker Repro cases.

The 1st pic is a Repro case for a 26" gun, the 2nd pic is a Repro case for a 28" gun and the 3rd pic is the advertised and supposed 28" IC/M gun with the lower left compartment cropped out of the seller's original pic. Look at the shape/length dimension of the lower left storage compartment---you can easily see the difference. Given that the advertised gun's barrels fill up the length of the barrel compartment without a spacer block and the shape of the lower left storage compartment makes it obvious to me that it is a 26" gun.

Before noticing this I began formulating a game plan on how I was going to sweet-talk Mrs. B into why I absolutely had to have this gun. As it now stands, I don't have to and she lucked out!
