I can tell you that with the Western Field name, it's not a Browning product. This was a trade name used by Montgomery Ward. It may be marked with a Browning patent, but was probably made by Stevens/Savage.

Montgomery Ward & Co. was founded in 1872, and the Western Field brand was used for various firearms sold by the company, particularly during the mid-20th century. The Western Field 16-gauge pump shotgun often features Browning patents, indicating a design or manufacturing connection to Browning firearms. Depending on the specific model and production date, a Western Field 16 ga pump shotgun could date back to the 1930s or later, making it at least several decades old. For an exact age, you would need to check the specific serial number and model information.
