Savage Fire Arms Company for Montgomery Wards
Manufactured for Montgomery Wards, this is a Mossberg Model 46B. The 46B was made from 1938-1946. Most date from before 1942 (WW 2, Mossberg was making training rifles for US Navy). The 46B is an excellent rifle.
Wards did not make rifles, they only sold them under their brand. 93M-491A is actually a Mossberg 46B. The 46B was made from 1938 to 1949. This was prior to serial numbers being required on guns and it is not possible to find the exact date of manufacture.
That gun is a Savage model 315

I believe it was manufactured in 1959 or 1960, but been unable to identify who manufactured it for Wards. There was another EJN-750 in .306 on the sale table, but I couldn't afford another $68 for it!
