The Montgomery Wards Western Field model 46C was made for them buy Mossberg and sons.The Mossberg model 42A and your rifle are one and the same.Mossberg made the model 42A from 1937-1938.
No known published sn data.
Your western field model 32 is actually a mossberg model 20 or model 21.The mossberg model 20,21 was made by mossberg between the years 1933-1938,for the montgomery wards stores(western field brand name).
In 1941
The model 87 was made for Montgomry Ward by Savage Stevens from 1938-1945.
The Western Field model 41 was made for Montgomery Wards by Mossberg and was the Mossberg model 45 . The model 45 was made from 1935 to 1937 and some minor improvements were made in the model in 1937 and was labeled as the model 45A. I believe the last 45A was made in 1938 so most likely all Western Field model 41s were made between 1935-38.
All of the Wards SB model shotguns in my cross reference have a number with the letters. Please check your model number closely, and repost your question.
