Questions about an 1894 Parker Brothers with Damascus steel

Greetings!

I believe I have an 1894 hammerless 12 gauge Parker side by side with Damascus barrels. Serial number 80636. The barrels are like mirrors, they look like brand new. No pitting whatsoever. I have the original tag from the shop when it was bought and it says it can fire bulk smokeless powder. In faint red diagonal lettering it also says that it was fired with Nitro powder. Does this mean I can shoot modern low brass field loads for birds? I'm leery because it has the Damascus steel. Shoots two and three quarter black powder shells just fine!. Any thoughts from you wise individuals would be welcome! Thanks!
Alan
