Yes, as near as I can tell they were that strict in attention to detail, but rightly so for any fine double. Even the Trojans had all-qualified screws throughout, including the unseen ones. They do seem to find a way to migrate over the years, most of them probably "helped" along by an unqualified "smith". The one under the top lever, though, has a habit of backing out a little on its own on many guns I've seen. I have a couple that need a little tweak every now and then if I shoot them much. A very judicious "light" application of Loc-Tite has worked fine on the ones of these I've tried it on, and they can still be removed later easily without damage.
One of the biggest reasons for the screws to not be qualified is when they aren't put back in the right hole after a disassembly.
