I can say it was made in 1909, not much else from me....

I don't 100% understand what your question is but I'll jump in anyway. The lever should operate whether or not the safety is engaged. As a safety feature, opening the gun will move the safety to safe position.
As to "float", I assume you mean that the lever will not return to center position when released. Many, if not most, SxS guns of this era had a weakness as they used leaf springs. If there is a weakness with Remington's this is it. Several of the '94s & 1900s I've picked up over the years have had broken top lever springs. Cost about $25 - 30 to replace. I believe there is one on eBay right now.
