Ward's Western Field

ok, spent hours on the net searching, now i'm hoping somebody here can help me out...

got a 20 gauge shotgun that use to be my grandpa's. It is labelled a Ward's Western Field. I've found Montgomery Ward and Western, but nothing that specifically says Ward's Western Field. The model number listed on the gun is 60-SB620-A, but, there is no serial number listed, unless the gun is something like a model 60 and the SB620-A is the serial? really just wanted to find out exactly who manufactured the gun and what year it was made.

the other gun i'm having a hard time finding, is a Marlin Diamond Jubilee Commemorative Model 6060 .22lr, serial number is OK013588. found various types of model 60, but nothing that said Diamond Jubilee Commerative Model. wasn't sure if the OK was because the gun was shipped to Oklahoma? also, not sure if it helps, but there is a stamp on the barrel that looks like a JM. Any help on either gun would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Xen

Re: Ward\'s Western Field

I just did a serch and what I found is that the shotgun was made by Stevens for Montgomery Ward/ Western Field. The site I was on said they were made back in the 1930 to 1945 and the prices now are anywhere from $75 to $600. Hope this helps but you better let AJ handle this one because he know tons more than I do.

Re: Ward\'s Western Field

thanks to both of you for the help. any idea where i would look on the gun for the serial? was wondering if i have to take it down, or if they even had serial numbers printed on them. also, that blue book link that AJ posted shows Savage for a mfg instead of stevens, Western Field 60SB Savage 620A. are they the same people, or does savage ultimatley cross reference over to stevens? also, any links i could get from either of you for a good place to look up guns would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Ward\'s Western Field

er, hmm... just looked farther down on that list

Western Field SB620A Stevens 620A

please don't think i was doubting you, just not familiar with the layout they had - kind of wondering if those 2 were the same gun just built by different manufacturers
