I actually liked the re-case colors, not exactly on, but close. I wonder what this one will sell for and will watch with interest. The only other C 28 I know about was significantly less, and had much longer barrels. This one has particularly nice engraving and is in the heart of what many people consider some particularly good years for well engraved Parkers.
I'm still amazed about the rare cheekpiece on such a small gun, highly unusual, and more often seen on rifles than shotguns, particularly those of Germanic influence. There are a few target shotguns with cheekpieces.
The short barreled guns, the 24's and 25's, I like my little D 24", but I've found that some people don't like them at all, and long barrels seem to be in for the time. I think these little guns make excellent fast grouse and quail guns.
