'Safety' was was not politically correct then, like now.

Unhappy So much for the reliability of human memory...

I finally came across the old tag that accompanied this shotgun. Obviously I had not recalled the fairly accurate statement of where it was made or at which once famous Syracuse venue it was 'hocked' for board...

Somehow Lee, it is good that only now you found this tag with all relevant information. This gave us a chance to dive meanwhile into the sea of imagination and give free wings to a range of conjectures.
A very nice gun indeed .
