Hopkins and Allen were in business from 1867-1914.There single shot shotguns date from 1902-1914,but they also made a falling block single shot shotgun from 1887-1902.These were in 12 gauge with a heavy frame,and in 16 gauge and 20 gauge with a medium frame.from 1902 onward to 1914 all shotguns were made of the tip over design.
With no real data showing when a paticular gun was manufactured. A time comes when a person have to give up or guess.
I got one that has been in the family for four generations (- a few years when it was sold, but later bought back by my grandfather) Its serial number is 8413, and respectfully speaking I didn't even know that there were that many of these shotguns made.
The choice is yours, of course, by just going by the serial number ...
Have a good day.
