Doing some research myself on this subject and have only beenable to determine that the company was named Forehand from 1890 to1902. It had originally been named Forehand & Wadsworth, andwas renamed when Wadsworth retired. It was sold be the family in1902 to Hopkins & Allen. Sorry this only gives a rough date,but so far this is all I have found. The first answer narrows thedate of manufacture down to a 13 year period, and that is a prettysmall window for an old gun. All I can add is that if they werestill using leftover F&W grips, it was probably made fairlyearly in this period. Unfortunately, this is not enough to get anantique designation from the ATF since the model was still beingmade after 12/31/1898 and there are no records to prove which sideof that arbitrary date yours was manufactured.
Hopkins & Allen purchased Forehand Arms Co. Davenport and continued to produce their line of firearms, and after a few years dropped the Forehand name. In 1902, they offered the Forehand double boxlocks with or without outside hammers. Most models were offered in 12, 16 & 20 gauge. Sidelocks were added 1906-09.
