The Hopkins and Allen Arms Company was active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Shotgun serial number T9888 likely dates to around the early 1900s, as many of their firearms were produced during that period. For a more precise dating, specific production records or reference materials would be necessary.

Hopkins and Allen took over the Forehand name in 1903 and continued until 1915.
