hemc,
Of course!
Why?
They are not that uncommon.
Invented by the same Spencer of carbine reknown, they were made from 1882- 1889, and later by Francis Bannerman till 1907.  Said to be the first widely sold and publically accepted repeater, it was the beginning of the end for the double barrel shotgun.  
Values go from $300 in VG, up to $950 in Exc.  
Ref; Flaydermans Giude 17-177
