There is noway to tell what gague a shotgun is just from the serial number. Take it to a gunsmith.
There is no serial number data for the Company Hopkins and Allen in the private sector available.This firm was in business from 1867-1916.No laws required serial numbers at that time,and those that were marked with a serial number have no records remaining today.If you have a single shot shotgun,these were made from 1887-1902.If the markings say Hopkins and Allen Manufg.Co.Norwich,Conn on the gun then this was made from before 1896.If you have a double barrel shotgun,then these were made from 1902-1916,when they went out of business.
100 USD or so
Can't be told with just the sn.
No sn data published that I know of.
Between 1902 and 1914. If its a sidelock, between 1906 and 1909.
Utility grade shotgun, 50-100 USD or so
i just like numbers, that's all :D
You need to provide the serial number
Sorry, that is a serial number, not a model number. Forehand & Wadsworth was acquired by Hopkins & Allen in 1902. Due to a number of problems, the H&A company closed for good in 1917. Your shotgun is likely from the time between those two dates.
Hopkins and Allen took over the Forehand name in 1903 and continued until 1915.
