Hopkins and Allen purchased Forehand Arms in 1902, so sometime between then and 1915 when the company closed.
You just read it.
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.
1870-1910 or so
Virtually impossible to tell the calibre of any weapon by just the serial number
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.
No published sn data
i have a single barreal shot gun with the serial number s 3641 can you tell me what year this is and what it's worth
"caliper" is not a term associated with handguns. There is no way to answer the question with just the serial number.
Forehand & Wadsworth changed their name to Forehand Arms Co. and was eventually taken over by Hopkins & Allen. Unfortunately without the serial number it is hard to narrow down an exact age. I can tell you it was produced between 1887 and 1915.
Want to know how to find the value of this handgun.
