I have two guns I aquired as hand me downs, one is a Hopkins and Allen Forehand DA, and the other is a Femaru 37M. I'm looking for any helpful information and history which could be provided. I have done some researching online, but I am hoping to gain better info from a collector or someone. I have found a good bit of info on the Femaru, but am lacking info on the Forehand (It was my Great Great Grandmothers, no one even knew she owned one!) The Femaru was given to me by my girlfriends father. Any info would help. I am interested in value too, although the Forehand is not going anywhere. Both seem to be in good working order, even the timing on the forehand seems to be good. The Femaru seems operational, and the magazine is in good shape too.

As you probably know, your M37 is pre-war Hungarian military. They are fairly common and collector demand has been pretty low. They sell occasionally on GB for $225-350 depending upon condition.

Having shot mine, a minty jhv 41 Femaru with 2 original matching numbered mags, they are a piece of s---. The early ones are purty, with beautiful deep blue. Getting them to function properly for just a few shots much less a full mag is an exercise in wishful thinking.

That's too bad, I ran a rod thru this one, couple drops of oil and shot thru a box with not one problem. It was actually quite fun to shoot!
