Forehand & Wadsworth "Terror" .32 Rimfire Pocket Revolver
This is rare variant of the "Terror" which is really hard to find. It is of a much better quality and workmanship than the earlier versions, and it is also bigger and heavier. The cylinder walls and the barrel are extra thick, and the machined access cover on the frame is as tight and well fitted as a S&W or Colt. The action is strong and crisp, and the cylinder indexes and locks properly and tightly. The nickel plating is intact. The rosewood grips are excellent and undamaged, showing no handling marks. The bore of the 3 inch barrel is bright, with sharp rifling. SN 948, rated very excellent overall.
History & Background
Sullivan Forehand was an employee of Ethan Allen, the famous New England gunmaker. In 1860 he worked in an administrative capacity when he met his future wife - Allen's daughter - at work, and after marrying into the family became a partner in the business. Henry Wadsworth, an officer in the union army, met another of Allen's daughters while still in service during the war, and married into the family as well. Upon his discharge from the army, Wadsworth joined the company which was renamed "Ethan Allen & Co."
After Allen's death in 1871, the two sons-in-law took over the firm and renamed it "Forehand & Wadsworth. They would become well known especially for their bulldogs, but also their many fine pocket and large-frame revolvers, single-shot deringers and pistols. Forehand & Wadsworth remained in business until 1890 when Henry Wadsworth retired and Sullivan renamed the company "Forehand Arms".
