Thank you for sharing with us photos of your 28g.
As Craig suggested, the buttstock has had finish added to it at one time. Checkering is filled in and it is very glossy for the condition of the whole gun. Other than that, the gun is pretty unmolested and it a good example of a gun that has seen much field service but not abused.
If you wish to continue hunting with it a lot and in any conditions, there is no worries about carrying on as you have been. However, as you may have guessed, 28g guns are rare, are desirable and are valuable. In nearly any condition. So, given that the gun really owes you nothing, any restoration work considered would no doubt increase the value of the gun from its current state as long as the work performed is quality.
