Sullivan Forehand and Henry Wadsworth each married one of Ethan Allen's daughters and were part of E. Allen & Co. until they restructured the business as Forehand & Wadsworth upon Ethan Allen's passing in 1871. As with Allen's firearms, their guns were high quality weapons. These Old Model Army revolvers were manufactured in the mid 1870s and it is estimated that less than 1,000 were made.
The 44 Smith & Wesson American is classified as a Section 58 (2) antique and can be found listed on page 8 of the Home Office Guide to owning antique arms, therefore no licence is required to own this historical antique as a curio and as part of your collection provided you are not a prohibited person clearly defined by both Provisions 108-111 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, and by virtue of Section 21 of The Firearms Act 1968.

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Inside the NRA Firearms Museum in Fairfax Virginia, you can see the guns Clint Eastwood used in the film The Outlaw Josey Wales.
These guns are copies of the Colt Walker and the Colt Dragoon revolvers, that were converted to fire 41 calibre blanks for the film set.
If you look closely, you can see the conversion rings on the rear of the cylinders.
On the Internet, there are many people telling us quite wrongly, what guns Clint Eastwood used in the film.
I have seen them myself, I took this photo, they are a Walker and a Dragoon.
We have a Uberti Walker and a Uberti Dragoon for sale.
