Between 1880 and 1920.
You need to provide the serial number
Hopkins and Allen purchased Forehand Arms in 1902, so sometime between then and 1915 when the company closed.
Hopkins and Allen took over the Forehand name in 1903 and continued until 1915.
50-100 USD or so
There is noway to tell what gague a shotgun is just from the serial number. Take it to a gunsmith.
Can't be told with just the sn.
If the shotgun is marked Hopkins and Allen Manufacturing Company, Norwich Conn. it was made between circa 1880-1885 and 1898. If marked Hopkins and Allen Arms Company, it was manufactured between 1898 and 1915. No records are available to give a more exact date of manufacture.
If it is Hopkins & Allen MFG Co, sometime between 1868 and 1898. Hopkins & Allen ARMS Co would be from 1898 to 1915. A 16 gauge would more likely (but not certainly) have been made after 1900.
