I checked my references last night. It was made by Dreyse, using Robert Schrader's patented action. (The top tang - where we would usually see a safety - will probably show the DRP, or patent number.) The patent was granted in 1898.
The cocking/safety lever is shown in the neutral, or safe position. You push it forward to open the gun, and pull it back to tension the mainsprings. No typical safety is needed.
