Westernfield was the store brand used by Montgomery Wards stores. There were dozens of different models- far too many to list here. These were made for Wards by regular firearms companies, such as Marlin, Stevens, Mossberg, Winchester, etc. The same guns were sold by Sears under the JC Higgins brand, by Western Auto under the Revelation brand, etc. You can find the listing at the bottom of the home page of the gunpartscorp website, under "store brand cross reference".
Go to Numrich Gun Parts Corp.It will be helpful if you know the original maker of your shotgun,as all guns that were made under the Western Field name(Montgomery Wards) were made by outside firms for Montgomery Wards.If you list the model number of your western Field shotgun,this can be cross referenced to the original maker and help you get the right model of shotgun to locate parts.
It all depends what model you have. For instance I have a M550AD it is worth about $600. Age also afeects the value. Your best bet is to take it to a gun shop.

The Western Field 550 series were produced by Mossberg for Montgomery Ward. Basically it's a Mossberg 500 and as far as my research and experience with them goes (I own a 550AB in 12 GA and a 550ED in 410 GA), all parts are interchangeable though I've only ever put a Mossberg barrel on my Western Field.
