Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
This is a Forehand & Wadsworth 5-shot top break revolver. It has a 3 ¼” barrel and chambered for .38 S&W. Forehand revolvers were a little better quality than a lot of revolvers on the market during the day. And also this company has roots that date back to the early 1800’s, and arguably to one of the finest gunmakers that America has ever seen, Ethan Allen. Ethan Allen Started his gunmaking career in Grafton MA in 1831. Allen was one of the first American producers of commercial handguns with interchangeable parts. In the 1830’s Allen’s guns were highly prized for their workmanship and rugged construction. Allen’s guns are still prized by today’s collectors for the same reason. By the time this month’s old gun was made the quality that made Allen famous was no longer there. But Forehand still made a good gun, just not a superb one. The “F&W” (Forehand & Wadsworth) marking was used on grips even after the company name changed to Forehand Arms Co. The practice of using up old parts was very common around 1900, and does not necessarily mean the gun isn’t original.
