A lot of people do prefer a non auto safety and it is very easily had by just removing the reset pushrod. The only way of telling if your non auto safety is factory would be to see if the records mention it ordered that way, or to take the action off the stock and see if there is a hole drilled where the rod once was.
That is if the stock is Original. I don't want to open a can of worms, but there are a few features that makes me wonder about it.

I'm no expert but the stock looks every bit of 84 years old and fits me well. I guess I could pull the trigger guard and look for numbers. I also know that the Mona Lisa could be faked these days. The gun came from a pretty reputable dealer, WL Moore and sons, who claimed original features except the new Silvers pad of course. Anyhow I like it. No worry on cans of worms.
