Yes. Bought it for $50 in 1968.
Decent condition with only one screw replaced.
that's amazing, congratulations!
I looked into getting one a few years ago - the prices on them are quite a bit higher now though, so I settled on acquiring original firearms in 44-40 instead (it also helps that 44-40 ammunition is still readily available. I did find a place selling centerfire 44 Henry dies, but you have to make your own brass - I think it was from 303 Savage). There's two centerfire-converted 1866 Winchesters that have been at a local gunshop for what seems like forever - I ofter ponder getting one of them, but just can't justify it (for what they cost).
Hell I plink with .38 and .45 but I reload. I've got enough powder, brass and primers and bullets to last years. I just have to stay on top small pistol primers, but I've got time...
Certainly doesn't cost $1.00 p round. More like .20cents for .38 and .23cents for .45 (does not include brass- but I've already got a pile of that).

Nice to know you are well stocked. Any of your reloads exploded on you yet?

Nope. But years ago I bought a used .257 Ackley that came with previous owner reloads and one blew the primer out of the pocket and locked that Mauser bolt shut like a bank vault. Had to take that one to the gunsmith. And then I pulled all those reloads and rolled my own!!
Edit- and as I finished typing the previous guess who showed up? The powder fairy!!...
I won’t show my guns - not that I’d get a trophy anyway. I just don’t go that public about what I have so that LEOs can’t come back to me if my guns get stolen and present internet posts as luring bad guys in to steal them.
I have guns. So, call that more of a warning to burglars/folks who want free guns to go shoot people with.

Reason: DM sent.
The top pistol is my KelTec PMR 30 .22 Magnum, picky on ammo at first, but once I figured out the right ammo it shoots great, people start looking at you on the range weird when you get to your 20th round and keep firing
The bottom pistol is my Colt .22 made by Walther, love both these pistols.
The second pic is my Kimber custom in 9mm.
