    Forehand & Wadsworth, in Worcester, Mass.The company was established in 1871 and used the "Forehand & Wadsworth" name until it became the Forehand Arms Company in 1890. The company was aborbed into Allen & Hopkins when they purchased the company in 1902.

    1. They are nickle plated instead of chrome plated.2. The grips are the old hard rubber type not plastic.3. In absolutely "great" condition - about $200.
