Does an American Eagle lock open ?

Should an early commercial American Eagle lock open after the last shot? A friend recently obtained one that has obviously been reworked as it has a 30 cal artillery barrel (with the rear sight slot filled with an ivory or plastic filler), rear sight on the toggle, grip safety, DWM marked toggle, frame marked "Germany". It's been refinished at some point in its' life, though appears to be well done. Numbers seem to match on everything except the un-numbered barrel. It has a hold open and I don't recall if that is correct.

Thanks!!!
