  The answer to your question is NO. There is no simple way to chech this. There is a difficult way to test that in your particular test scenario RFC6979 is used.

One more comment: If I understand this correctly, the Trezor use case for signing transaction never reuses adresses. If k=1 was used all the time, only the private keys of the dead address will be revealed. There is still no known way to steal your BTC in this scenario. So the RFC6979 is good to have, but you are safe even without it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
