Well.its the Sears Trade Name for firearms sold through Sears stores.
They generally were Winchesters, Marlins, Nobels, Stevens and other
brands.
Many firearms makers in the past would make a firearm.then stamp it
according to the buyers requirements. Some orders so marked may have
been as little as 10 items. Many small midwest hardware stores had
their names or a Nym 'Peters Hardware Co' stamped where the makers
name normally would be. We dont see much of this anymore.but nearly
every retailer used to do this. Wards, Sears, Kmart, JL Hudsons, etc
etc
Western Field was Montgomery Wards 'trade name'
Some further examples of just shotguns.. sold by other companies..
Excel--Crescent Fire Arms, Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works,
Crescent-Davis Arms Corp.
Hercules--Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works, Stevens Arms & Tool
Co
Knockabout--Crescent Fire Arms Co, Stevens Arms & Tool Co
