THESE WERE MADE BY H & R IN THE 1960 ERA
Without further information, anywhere from the 1930's-1970's.
My father used a Wards Western Field 410 gauge repeater as a young man. The gun I believe is approximately 70-80 years old. If you have a patent number you can contact the pantent office and they should be able to tell you when the shotgun was first produced.
The model number of your Wards Western Field.
Several different companies made shotguns for Wards. First determine what it really is (look in a Gun Values book and compare the gun to the pictures) then go to gunpartscorp.com for parts.
