As for the safety, it wasn't built for American shooting, it was built for the European style of shooting, mainly pass shooting where you had the gun handed to you and prior to bringing it up you pushed the safety to on.
I have used mine, I don't know the model but it is an 1892 with Patent Treble Wedge Fast. in an oval and on rib, St. Mary's Square,Birmingham, England Winner at all Gun Trials 1875-1891
Gun does have a checkered butt and weighs 6 lbs. even. A pleassure to carry and shoot low pressure loads.
Water table marked 13 and someone had said it was for a .710 bore which I thought was kind of small for 12 ga. Bore now is .727 &.728 with chokes of .009 and .034
