Forehand Arms Co Serial Numbers
Hopkins and Allen Double-Action Revolver Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Co. Of Norwich, Connecticut, was a major manufacturer of rifles, shotguns, and inexpensive cartridge handguns between 1868 and 1915. By: John Hackett. This month’s old gun is a Forehand Arms Co. 5-shot top break revolver. It has a 3 ¼” barrel and chambered for.38 S&W. At first glance it doesn’t look like much, kind of like the 1,000’s of other cheap revolvers made around 1900.

Hello all, I have a Forehand & Wadsworth British Bulldog with the serial number 3765. It is a 6 round in what I believe to be 38 cal (short). There is a matching serial number on cylinder as well.

Posts: 3773 | FOREHAND ARMS COMPANY. Last name in a long line of names starting with E. (Ethan) Allen in 1836, next Allen & Thurber from 1837 to 1854, Allen & Thurber & Co 1854 to 1856, Allen & Wheelock from 1856 to 1865, E. Allen & Co 1865 to 1871, Forehand & Wadsworth Arms Co 1871 to 1890 and finally Forehand Arms Co 1890 to 1902. It is difficult to give you any accurate information on your gun for a couple of reasons. You don't say if the gun is a outside hammer type or a hammerless, Forehand made both. And there is a problem with the serial number. Forehand serial numbers for their NEW MODEL HAMMER DOUBLE run from serial number 001 in 1892 to 11,001+ in 1902. The serial numbers for their NEW MODEL HAMMERLESS DOUBLE run from serial number 001in 1890 to 3,301+ in 1902. much too low to include your gun. So your gun must be a hammer type made during the end of production in 1902. As such and given the time frame when it was made, the gun was designed and made for the ammunition is use then which was 2 1/2 inch shot shells loaded with black powder and lead shot. The gun may well have damascus barrels. The gun was not designed for more modern and longer shells, 2 9/16 or 2 3/4 shells and certainly not 3 inch or magnum shells loaded with high pressure smokeless powder and steel shot. I must recommend that you do not attempt to shoot the gun. Value? Value will depend on the guns condition, the amount of original finish remaining on the metal and wood as well as the mechanical condition. A prime condition example (rare) that appears to have come out of the factory yesterday afternoon might bring as much as $150 at auction while a rusty metal, rotten or broken wood and missing parts piece of junk fit only for parts salvage or as a tent post might bring $15.
