In the 1870s their entire stock was sold by Merwin & Hulbert who were the sole marketing agency for Hopkins & Allen. The Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company began producing firearms at Norwich, Connecticut in 1868, most of their early creations being revolvers. That all changed last year when I spent most of the latter part unable to do any serious hunting and, being not much good at sitting around doing nothing, I passed time researching my single shot collection and in the process came up with information about Hopkins & Allen I didn’t even know I had. Writing about the two Hopkins & Allen rifles I have in my collection of single shots is one of those things I’ve been meaning to do for years but never quite got around to.
