Smith Gun Company, Syracuse, N.Y. around 1887. It was put there for trap shooters who forgot to push the safety forward when calling for the bird and therefore lost the bird. It is a scary thing to be walking around with a safety in the off position and not realizing it. With the bar horizontal it would let the shooter know this and flip it. David

I hated it and could never figure out whether the gun was on safe or locked in battery. Numrich has the conversion kits which are pretty easy to install, so I changed out both guns to the two position safety (yes I kept the parts for the original safeties)...Geo
