I am only guessing that the recently inherited 12 gauge, single shot shot gun with a serial number of 34416 XF was made in the mid 1920's. Cannot find a model number but name Western Field is in a rather larger d decorative font. Any help in finding a model number and year built would be appreciated.
The Western Field model 550C was manufactured by Mossberg for Montgomery Wards.
Mossberg
It is the same as the Kessler 128 manufactured between 1951-1953.
I would guess it was made by Stevens.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A NEW BARRELL TO RESTORE IT
Western Field model m5500 20 ga was manufactured by Savage Arms
I dont show that in my cross-reference. If you can send a digital picture, we can ID it for you. repair@countrygunsmith.net
You will need to list the model number of your western Field shotgun,and then I can cross reference the model number to the maker of your shotgun.
I just got a western field 410 shotgun and wondering the value of It

If you cannot easily see a serial number, then it was manufactured prior to 1968 and doesn't have one.
