Per the Shotgun Book, It dates to the 1890's when S. Forehand took over the Company formerly known as Forehand & Wadsworth. They were made in a number of different grades.

Well, I'm thinking it is of the Forehand Wadsworth Co., and I'm pretty sure they were in Worcester, so I assume that follows. Other than that, I hope someone else comes along who has a better clue than I.

FOREHAND & WADSWORTH: Worcester, Mass. Successors and Sons-in-Law to Ethan Allen, 1871-1902. In 1872 the name was changed to Forehand and Wadsworth. In 1890 the name was again changed, to Forehand Arms Company...You Gun was made in 1890 or later......
