Description

This is a Forehand Arms Co. double action, top break .32 S & W revolver with a 3 1/4 inch barrel.  The serial no. is 197706. That makes it a black powder model.  After Wadsworth died in 1890, Forehand continued the company as Forehand Arms Co. until it was bought by Hopkins and Allen in 1902.

The gun is a five-shot top break model with external hammer.  The barrel is marked ìForehand Arms Co. Worcester Mass. U.S.A. Patent Dec í86 and Jan í87î.  The grips are marked ìF & Wî.  The action functions well, the hammer cocks and holds, the trigger drops the hammer.  The cylinder spins as designed when the hammer is at rest, but the lock up is tight when the hammer falls.  The top break action functions well and the spring is strong.

This is an ANTIQUE and can be shipped directly to you. Sold as an Antique ~ no guarantees, warranties, or liabilities for any actual usage. If any firearms are to be used for shooting purposes, a qualified gunsmith should inspect them first.

Condition: The bore is very bright with strong rifling, there is no erosion in the grooves. There is about 95% original nickel.  The finish throughout the pistol is smooth.  The grips show no wear and are intact with no chips.  This is a good pocket pistol for Cowboy Action Shooting side matches.
