Unfortunately, H&A went bankrupt in 1916, and records are scarce. Please repost your question, describing the gun (one barrel or two?) and all markings on the gun in full, and we'll see if we can narrow it down some. These are not very high value guns, but the 16s may be worth a bit more than others.

You need to provide the serial number
idddkkk
1983
1870-1910 or so
Impossible to value with just a serial number.
You just read it.
Hopkins and Allen purchased Forehand Arms in 1902, so sometime between then and 1915 when the company closed.
The Hopkins & Allen 832 was chambered in .32 RinFire Short.
There is noway to tell what gague a shotgun is just from the serial number. Take it to a gunsmith.
Have H&A 32cal with serial number z249 .How old and whats it worth.
There is no serial number data for the Company Hopkins and Allen in the private sector available.This firm was in business from 1867-1916.No laws required serial numbers at that time,and those that were marked with a serial number have no records remaining today.If you have a single shot shotgun,these were made from 1887-1902.If the markings say Hopkins and Allen Manufg.Co.Norwich,Conn on the gun then this was made from before 1896.If you have a double barrel shotgun,then these were made from 1902-1916,when they went out of business.
