Forehand and Wadsworth (Forehand Arms) was in business from 1871 to 1902. Unfortunately, there are no serial number records for this company that has been closed for 116 years.
You will need to have it examined by a competent gunsmith to be sure.

Forehand & Wadsworth changed their name to Forehand Arms Co. and was eventually taken over by Hopkins & Allen. Unfortunately without the serial number it is hard to narrow down an exact age. I can tell you it was produced between 1887 and 1915.
