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.
Hopkins and Allen purchased Forehand Arms in 1902, so sometime between then and 1915 when the company closed.
It would just be called a Forehand Arms Single Shot.
Very few records. H&A went out of business in 1916.H&A purchased the Forehand Arms Co.and continued to make this model for a few years.In 1902 they offered the forehand double boxlocks with or without outside hammers.Sidelocks were offered from 1906-1909.These different types will hopefully help in getting you close to the year of manufacture of your shotgun.
It is worth $50, give or take fifty dollars.

Well, in 1902, they sold their brand name to Hopkins & Allen, who went bankrupt in 1916- so that gives you a time span. Serial number- sorry, few records, does not help date GUN. Caliber? See a gunsmith.
