Description:
FOREHAND & WADSWORTH Top Break .38 S&W DOUBLE ACTION Self Defense Revolver
Early 20th Century Worcester, MASS Manufacture
Here we present a C&R Forehand & Wadsworth Top Break Double Action Revolver chambered in .38 S&W, made circa 1900 during the production run of 1890 through 1902. This revolver was manufactured in the early 20th century in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1871 Sullivan Forehand and Henry C. Wadsworth founded Forehand & Wadsworth from the remnants of Ethan Allen & Company after the death of their father-in-law, Ethan Allen. Wadsworth sold his share of the company to Forehand in 1890 in order to retire and the company was rebranded as Forehand Arms. Sullivan Forehand and Henry C. Wadsworth were the sons-in-law of Ethan Allen, the successful firearms inventor and manufacturer from the 1830s. It would have made a convenient sidearm used for self-defense at the turn of the 20th century.
The overall condition is very good. Most of the original nickel finish remains intact with some dark spots of patina. Case colors still present on the hammer. The action is excellent. The bore is in good shape with strong rifling. The grips are a bit chipped at the bottom but otherwise solid. The numbers match.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 3-1/4 inches.
