Yes, Ward and Sons, a historical firearms manufacturer, produced a variety of shotguns, including models in 14 gauge. While they were more known for their higher gauge shotguns, the 14 gauge was part of their offerings during their operational years. However, these shotguns are relatively rare today due to their limited production and historical context.
Montgomery Ward did not make firearms. They contracted with makers and had their store brand put on them.

Ithaca did not make any Wards Western Field Shotguns. Most were made by Stevens/Savage or Mossberg.Western Field, the Montgomery Ward brand name, should not be confused with Western Arms Company, a division of Ithaca that made shotguns that appear identical to Ithaca's Lefever Nitro Special from 1929 to 1946.

No. Remington shotguns are made in the USA.
Ward's Westernfield shotgun model 312 was produced by the Stevens Arms Company, which was a subsidiary of the Savage Arms Company. These shotguns were sold through Montgomery Ward retail stores and were essentially rebranded models made by Stevens. The model 312 is a classic, double-barrel shotgun, popular for hunting and shooting sports.
Most were made by Savage (including Stevens and Springfield) or Mossberg, a few by Noble. Many gun price books and gunparts vendors have crossover lists for model numbers.
