1954 Wingmaster ADL Question

[avery53]

Just a curiosity question.
I picked up this 870 recently, it looks to have been shot very little.
It is all that it is supposed to be, with one exception, it has a left hand safety.
It looks to be original to the gun. It is not one of the later replacement types offered these days.
Did Remington offer a left hand safety as an option on this gun?
Thanks

Yes. They have offered standard guns with a left handed safety, and "mirror image" left handed models over the years.

Thanks, I thought it looked original.

They also used to sell just the left handed safety butoons if my memory serves, so someone may have swapped it way back.
