The Montgomery Ward WESTERN FIELD - DELUXE was a "trade branded" version of the Western Arms Corp. Long Range Double.
It sported a bit of rudimentary checkering that the folks at Fall Creek Water Power Lot #6 didn't put on the Western Arms Long Range Double. The Western Arms Long Range Double was rather similar to but not exactly the same as the Lefever Arms Co., Inc. Nitro Special. The Long Range had a malleable iron receiver while the Nitro Special had a forged steel receiver, but there were some internal parts that are a bit different.
For 1935, Ithaca began a policy of not making "trade branded" guns --
so that may be when MW went to J. Stevens for their guns. From back in the 1920s we find Flues Model Ithacas with MW "trade brand" names.
