Their are several dates stamped also PATD Apr 11 1876

Sounds like you have an early GH grade hammerless 12 gauge.

On the www.parkerguns.org page left side is a group of information links that will tell you a lot about your gun. Serial number will give guidance on date of manufacture and all those numbers are explained. The Parker Grades link will show similar guns and give an overview of a particular grade of gun.

Check it out, you can learn all the basics there.
