Thanks mc.
It is on my Birmingham made (1943 to 1949 ?) W.C. Carswell SLE. I was hoping that it might be sufficiently distinctive to provide a clue as to the action maker.
I can be fairly sure it was not Purdey.

Does this constitute a "dicky-bird" type of safety?

It has a bar on the safe so it might just block the triggers pretty simple device

Lloyd,
No the “dicky bird” safety has a centrally pivoted rocking lever Lee a bird pecking with head down and tail (to engage the safety catch) up.
