The actual markings should read "forehand model of 1901". this revolver was manufactured by hopkins & allen co. between 1901 and 1917. 1917 is the year H&A went out of business and marlin took over the H&A factory to manufracture material for WWI.

The 'forehand model of 1901' was offered as a 5 shot 32 S&W (small frame) or a 5 shot 38 S&W (large frame). standard barrel length for small frame is 3 inches and for the large frame 3 1/4 inches. These revolvers were manufactured for black powder cartridge pressures only and should not be fired with modern ammo. The low serial number and the F&W grips would indicate this is an early production model using left over parts actually manufactured by forehand arms co. before the H&A take over.

Sorry, that is a serial number, not a model number. Forehand & Wadsworth was acquired by Hopkins & Allen in 1902. Due to a number of problems, the H&A company closed for good in 1917. Your shotgun is likely from the time between those two dates.

Very few records. H&A went out of business in 1916.H&A purchased the Forehand Arms Co.and continued to make this model for a few years.In 1902 they offered the forehand double boxlocks with or without outside hammers.Sidelocks were offered from 1906-1909.These different types will hopefully help in getting you close to the year of manufacture of your shotgun.


Where can you find information about a Hopkins and Allen Forehand model shotgun serial number 745329?

Forehand Arms Co was absorbed by Hopkins & Allen c.1902, and for a couple of years H&A produced shotguns with the Forehand name. By the start of WW1 H&A was attempting to fill military contracts with the Belgian government which drove them into bankruptcy, with Marlin absorbing the remnants in 1921. Value is going to be uniformly low, under $100.
