The safety button is the later style, which would have come along after the gun was originally made. Also suggesting a return to the factory for its addition. Likely at the same time the single trigger was added.
The gun was made before the first style factory sst was offered.

True about the safety switch. That is the post-1917 style… and no, that is not a Parker Bros. (Meriden) trap comb.
