Yes, although the current company known as High Standard is not the original High Standard Manufacturing Company, which folded in 1984. But it's the same pistols being manufactured currently, although there may be some cosmetic variances.
No way to know without trying.
The High Standard R101 serial number 880188 was manufactured in 1948. The R101 model was part of High Standard's line of pistols, known for their accuracy and quality during that period. If you need more specific information about its features or historical context, feel free to ask!

The 22 9 shot HR (High Standard) pistol with serial number P480 was manufactured in 1971. High Standard produced various models of pistols during this time, and the serial number system they used helps identify the year of production.
The the first ones were manufactured in Spain, then Germany followed suit. China manufactured unlicenced copies of the Spanish pistols, and the Brazilians manufactured a modified variant of the German pistols.
Contact High Standard with the Serial Number and they will tell you when it was manufactured.
1952
Depends on model (and there are DOZENS of models of High Standard pistols) and the condition.
Hi-Standard made multiple models of pistols. Some had slide locks.
