Default Confused

Hi I'm new here and need some help. I have my great grandfathers Parker 10ga. side by side. First, I have looked up the s/n (7735) and it is said to be newer than the engraving on the rib between the bbl's it states " Manufactured for M. Hoag 1869 Seneca Falls NY." Secondly I can't find a frame size, grade or any other markings any where on the gun. the side plates are engraved with hunting dogs on point and the underside of the trigger guard has what look like a Sand piper the wood is very rich and in great cond. The bbl's are marked Laminated Steel. Could this gun be restored to be a shooter? there are parts missing however, both hammers and one firing pin and the little cover on the under lever.
Any help and or advise is greatly appreciated.
