L.C. Smith Pigeon Gun
1894 Chas. Godfrey, N.Y. courtesy of Dave Noreen; illustrated with safety
1910 Norvell-Shapleigh, St. Louis; again with safety. At that point Hunter Arms described the gun as "Pigeon Gun", not "Pigeon Grade"
which is not to say "No Safety" could not be ordered. The two piece tang was discontinued about 1910, but found on guns as late as 1915
