Yes, a VERY late hammer gun.

The 1878 stamp is a patent date, not a YOM.
The barrel weight could even help to determine it possibly being a 16 gauge. .

How is the overall condition? Interesting that it's a "P" grade, but does not have laminated barrels like earlier grade 1 hammer guns. Though twist barrels are what a PH would have at the time if they were not fluid steel. It would be great to see some pictures!

True Jay, in certain time periods there were Twist Steel barrels intersected with Laminated Steel barrels - then later there were Parker Steel barrels.
To every season, turn, turn, turn, there is a reason, turn, turn, turn, and a barrel steel for every purpose under Heaven. .
