Your shotgun was made for montgomery wards hence the name western field,by stevens.The model designation for your shotgun from stevens was the model 520.These stevens model 520 shotguns were made from 1912-1932 with a total production of 191,000 guns.
It sounds to me that you have a Stevens model 520,which would cross reference to the model 30 Western Field.The stevens model 520 should have a slight humpback in the receiver.The model 520 was made from 1912-1932,and was resurrected in World war II for a trench,riot shotgun due to all the tooling being present at the outbreak of the War.This is also the most made shotgun during the World war II years.some 20,000 were made for the U.S.Gov.
im almost certain its remmington Stevens Model 520
While I cannot state the exact year of your Stevens model 520 production,I can say that this model of shotgun was made from 1912-1932.Stevens/Savage made 191,000 during these years
