    METCO: I don't believe there's any written material around giving dates of Manufacture of FOREHAND ARMS COMPANY guns...Its possible I'm wrong in this assumption.....but I've never seen any publication's stating to the contrary...My database says and I quote;
    FOREHAND ARMS COMPANY, Worcester, Massachusetts, Circa 1870s-1890s. Successors to Forehand and Wadsworth in 1890, Who in turn, were successors to Ethan Allen & Company in 1871. This company made a wide range of low and medium price shotguns under thier own and varius brand names....From the Patent Dates Your Gun was produced between 1888 and until possibly late 1890's....?..Hope this information is of some small help in youir search........Best.....

    This may be what you have:

    From the 2003 Standard Catalog of Firearms....

    "Forehand Arms Co. 1898-1902 Perfection Automatic - A .32 or .38 caliber double-action revolver with a hinged barrel and cylinder assembly. Varying barrel lengths. Blued or nickel-plated with hard rubber grips.

    V.G - $250
    Good - $100
    Fair - $75"

    This gun is listed on page 317 of the Spring 1902 Sears, Roebuck Catalog, and sold for $3.50 in .38 S&W (with a 3" barrel). It was also available with a 5" barrel for $4.00.

    Best to check with Sears before you send your money in....they may be out of them by now. [:D]
