It may be the photograph but if you look closely the button on the safety also appears to be filed at an angle, almost parallel to the contact surface of the top lever. Also note very full pistol grip and single trigger.It appears as if it was set up so the entire gun could be manipulated with one hand. Hugh Lomas, H.G.Lomas Gunmakers Inc. 920 876 3745

Probably the owner had a need to primarily use his right hand when shooting. http://www.bakercollectors.com/
