apparently this gun (model 31) is actually a savage/stevens model 620(?). The last year that was made was 1954.
First, it was manufactured by Stevens; they bought the rights from Browning. It could be close to 100 years old but at least 75. They sell for 100-200 dollars.
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.
Your western field model 32 is actually a mossberg model 20 or model 21.The mossberg model 20,21 was made by mossberg between the years 1933-1938,for the montgomery wards stores(western field brand name).

Should be a version of the Marlin 336. Wards sold the Marlin under the Western Field brand name through the 1960's until they switched to Mossberg in 1971.I've found that the Western Field Model 33A was made by Noble.
