Help identify an old shotgun - The Firearms Forum

I have an old shotgun that is in very sad shape.

Any ideas?

It has the following markings on it.

FOREH (cant read then) arms co.
Patened (can't read) 16'80
top of barrel Fine decarbonized steel

The rest can be found here:

I'm thinking "Forehand Arms".

I would also guess Forehand Arms Co. 1890 until 1902. Value as shown is only that as a curiosity and relic, less than a hundred dollars
