Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Forehand & Wadsworth was a manufacturer of a large number of single-shot and revolving cartridge arms beginning in 1871 following the death of Sullivan Forehand’s and Henry Wadsworth’s father-in-law, gunmaker Ethan Allen. (Each married one of Allen’s daughters). When Wadsworth retired in 1890, the company was renamed Forehand Arms Co. It ceased to exist in 1902, about four years following Forehand’s death, having been taken over by Hopkins & Allen, which continued in business until 1915. The guns made by H&A were pretty much the same ones offered at the time by F&W. The firm(s) made a dizzying variety of arms.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
