Western Field Firearms were made by various companies for Montgomery Ward. My cross-reference says M080 was a Savage model 29 or 75. That only narrows the date down to a 40 year period from 1928 to 1967. If it has an octagonal barrel and checkered pistol grip it was made prior to 1940 and if the barrel is round and the grip plain it was manufactured later. You could probably find out how many of these models Savage made, but I doubt if there are any existing records to determine how many were marked with the MW trade name. Value for the early models, according to the suggested prices in the Blue Book of Gun Values ranges from $125 for a well-used but serviceable gun to $325 for one that is 100% like new if it is a pre-1940 and from $65 to $235 if it is newer with the Savage name. Deduct 25-35% for the MW tradename.
They were made over several years. For more detailed information on them research the Mossberg 800b.
In the mid-1950 is when the western field M-815A was produced. The western field M-825A is the same as the JC Higgins model 85 witch both are unique model D2.
The Western Field 47 is a Mossberg model 45A and was manufactured in 1937 and 1938 only.
1937
All my records indicate that FN never made any firearms for Western Field (Montgomery Ward).
