Post Looking for help on a "A3279"

I had a customer brought in a Parker Bro's SxS wanting to know what he had. He bought it from and estate because he liked the gun. What we know about the gun is:
S# A3279 (Mfg'd in 1874?)
On the barrel lug there is a "S"
No grading - is this before they put the grade on it?
Where the barrel weight is to be stamped is a "cursive r, dot. L"
The barrel has extractors.
The barrels are Damascus Steel.
It has a vent rib.

As far as value, if the gun is pre grading how do you determine value? Everything I have is based in the grading...
He took it to Cabala’s and they didn't know either.
