Forehand & Wadsworth of Worcester Mass. Was in operation from 1871 to 1890. They were mostly known for their handguns. They made a couple models of derringers, and several models of full size and pocket revolvers. The most popular of the Forehand & Wadsworth revolvers at the time were the brand name guns they made; Terror, Swamp Angel, and American Bulldog.Forehand & Wadsworth did make a couple other guns though, a falling block type rifle, some side-by-side shotguns, and the pictured single shot shotgun.

Due to it's uniqueness, and somewhat obscurity, I would give this shotgun a value of somewhere in the neighborhood of $200. If the right collector needs this particular piece to round out a collection it may fetch as much as $400.

The value of ANY gun is based on the exact make, model, and condition- without all 3, we really can't give you a valid answer. Forehand Arms was the name used from 1890-1902, when the company closed. If the barrels are Damascus (twist) steel, values typically do not exceed $150.

Unless they are a collectible brand (Purdey, Winchester, Remington, Merkel, etc) older black powder shotguns do not command high prices. Depending on condition- $100-$250.
