Absolutely - their skill with the tools at the time is amazing. This gun (as the others I've shown) are right at or over 100 years old and function flawlessly. The fit and finishing is very tight and smooth. Springs wear out and need to be replaced but the machining and finishing is as new. I still shoot all of them, use my reloads, make sure I don't get too much bullet in the gun. The sights are universally bad though - but so are my eyes.
