Question
I can't find any information on a Forehand single 12 gauge  shotgun made by Hopkins & Allen co norwick, conn .stamped on it is G9267.

Answer
Hi,
Its a basic break open utility grade single shot shotgun that was designed by the Forehand Arms Company in 1890 in Worcester Mass. In 1901 Hopkins & Allen (1968 to 1917) bought the Forehand Arms Company. For 2 years Hopkins & Allen built the Forehand shotgun. This gun built when the black powder era was ending and the start smokeless powder era. This gun is not safe to shoot with modern ammo. Its worth $25 to $75 depending on condition.
