Forehand & Wadsworth Tip-Up 32 S&w 5rd
1 in stock
Description
This Pre-Owned Forehand & Wadsworth Tip-Up is a small-frame five-shot revolver chambered in .32 S&W, built in the era when compact centerfire pocket guns were the standard answer for discreet personal carry. Forehand & Wadsworth operated out of Worcester, Massachusetts beginning in 1871, producing pocket revolvers, derringers, rifles and shotguns before the firm was reorganized as Forehand Arms Co. in 1890. Pieces like this one sit squarely in that pocket revolver tradition, with a short 3.25-inch barrel and a double action only lockwork.
It is offered as the firearm alone, with no box, holster, or accessories accompanying it. Collectors of late nineteenth century American pocket revolvers and anyone building a display of Worcester-made arms are the natural audience here. Frame markings and patent dates are the best guide to pinning down the exact variant within the .32 caliber family the company produced.
