I'm not so sure that something that old would have been 1/100 for the instantaneous setting. Clearly this is "just a guess" on my part, but I'd bet it was closer to 1/20 or 1/25 for the film speeds of the day, particularly if it has a fixed f/12.5 aperture.
Of course that doesn't mean a thing about what it currently fires. However it can't be a complicated mechanism, so getting it back in proper order should be possible, especially if it works now. Clearly all the parts are there an not broken if it fires.

yup, just a guess.
an educated guess from the days when i used to fix and use and resell falling plate cameras ...
... and other "stuff" that used a guillotine shutter.
YMMV
