LC smith at numbers and marks make no Sense, HELPArchived Message

I recently bought a cool LC smith at a flea market in VA. The serial number of barrel and receiver match 99076. Its a hammer less auto ejector with LC smith on each side with no other in graving. The barrel has a really nice Damascus twist that you can see. OK but here is the problem, the serial number matches for 1927 but the only thing for grade I can is right under the serial on barrel and receiver is "0". Which doesn't match a grade for 1927. If that means No. 0 grade that stopped in 1914. The receiver does has the three Patten dates from 83,86, and 86. The only other marks on the gun are under the left barrel looks to be a EH and few spaces then a up side down PD maybe. The mech of the gun seem fine but needs stock and front wood. Try to put it back together because the barrel is just awesome. Any ideas on model and year that would be cool. Thanks
