    how could one know if the firing pin safety plunger and its spring is properly installed. Is there a notch on the firing pin that it would lock in place?

    The firing pin DOES have a notch that prevents the forward movement of the firing pin unless the trigger is pressed. After re-installation of all the slide components, and reassembly of the pistol, the "famous" pencil test insures that all parts are functioning as intended.

    A pencil is dropped into the muzzle (eraser end toward the breech) of an unloaded weapon. The hammer is cocked, and the trigger is squeezed. When the hammer drops, the pencil will fly out of the bore, if the weapon has been reassembled properly.

    "The Series 80 passive firing pin block only renders the gun more drop-safe. "

    Would a brand new 1991A1 have this?

    Yes. Remove the slide and take a look.
