Great Great Grandfather's Parker Lifter Action

Hoping some folks can provide me with some insight into this shotgun which has been passed down to me. It belonged to my Great Great Grandfather (So I was told). I am a little bit confused. The serial number, which I believe is 1766, suggests a mfg. date of pre-1874. However, I would have expected the fore end use a keyed latch as opposed to the more modern latch I have found on this gun. Here are some photos:

Any insight would be great. If you have questions I will do my best to try and answer them. Thanks.
