Sneider was a gunsmith, having several Patents here and in England. An examination of the locks on his hammerless guns will reveal multiple design styles, some with coil springs. All workmanship was first class. At the moment I cannot say what Clark's contribution to the firm was. He was gone in 1883.

To correct my previous post, I now notice the Sneider Patent crossbar in the receiver . It would be my guess that , if this gun is a conversion, the grip safety has been reused in the conversion. Usually on these conversions, they used as much of the original gun as possible including buttplates, triggerguards, hammers etc.
