Tom, yes this is the only Smith I have seen with a HOT that had an automatic safety. This is the only picture I have of it and it was sent to me form the owner. If you look close to where the top lever is, you will see a pin going through the safety slide and into ______? Yes again in the position of the slot for the safety slide.

I have also enclosed a picture of a FW frame showing how the spur lever on the HOT rises for that second firing.

The goldish sheen on the side plate is from the flash.
