From the 1880s to World War 1 millions of utility shotguns with hundreds of store names were imported to the US from Belgium and millions more were made in the US. Fine Damascus Steel suggests Belgian origin in this case. If you examine the bottom of the barrels you will probably find an oval around 'ELG*' which is a Belgian proof mark. A crown over this mark will indicate manufacture after 1893. While many of these store brands have been linked to a manufacturer (in some cases multiple manufacturers), Macey Co is not in my list.

I know where there is one. It is in NICE condition. Where are you located?
What is the value of a 16 gauge side by side made by Penn Arms Co Pat Feb 7 1911?
I don't have a listing for Penn Arms Co, but that patent date belonged to Hunter Arms Co, Fulton, NY, 1890-1945. Unless the gun is embellished with fine engraving, it will probably fall into the usual range of values for old double barrels - $150-$250.

US gunmaker from 1895 to 1903. Became Union Fire Arms Co in 1903. The gun was probably sold through the Sears Roebuck Catalog.
What is a Montgomery Ward Stevens Model 520 pump shotgun worth?

Who made the Wards Western Field Model 37-A 16 gauge pump shotgun?
I dont show that model number in my cross-reference lists. Wards had a deep relationship with Mossberg, but I believe your gun predates WW2. If so, it is probably a Stevens 520. Can you send digital photos so we can positively ID the firearm? sales@countrygunsmith.net
