I'm looking for information about an H&A, five shot, .38 center fire. This piece is a break top, 3 1/4 in barrel, nickle plated and has no model or caliber markings on it. Barrel is round and stamped, "Forehand Arms. Co. Worchester, Mass. USA. Patented Dec. 7, 86 & Jany. 11 '87." Grips are black with H&A medallions at the top of each. From what I've found so far it appears this uses a .38 short S&W black powder round. Someone suggested it is a "Forehand model 1900," which I can find no information on. I did find a picture of a model 1901, which is nearly identical, the differences being: Design on the grips is different; the 1901 is hammerless and mine is not; mine has a cylinder release on the right side of the barrel and the 1901 does not. Besides the barrel stamp the only other information on it is the serial number. I don't have a photo at the moment, but if it will help I'll attach one later.
Appreciate the input.
