Your rifle was made for Montgomery Wards by Springfield, and is a Springfield model 85. They were made from 1939 to 1948.
I have seen Springfield Model 15s sell on the internet for between $60 and $85 dollars. These rifles originally sold for $3.19 in 1938 and into the $14 range by the late 50's. YMMV. Didn't Stevens stop production of this rifle in the early 40's?
I believe that your wards western field model 85 was made by j stevens arms company.The stevens model 85 and yours are the same rifle.
