Hello my name is Scott and i am new to gunbroker.com and to fire arms in general. I have an old montgomery ward 12 gauge side by side shotgun that was my dads. I know he got it in south dakota. Parents divorced when i was young and i never really went hunting with him. anyway serial numbers match. fore stock retainer clip had a piece brake off and now the fore stock wont stay on. nothing about shell size on the gun other than 12 gauge proof tested on it. only other marking i can find is pat.apr.20-1915 model stamped on is Hercules. im looking for info like who really made the gun and find some one who can either get a me or repair the fore stock clip. i have never fired this gun. any and all help is apprecciated. Thank You Scott 0 -

I have a 12Ga. that looks identical to yours. Only difference I can see is mine has a raised rib. It was my dads. It has a Browning patent number stamped into the side below the shell ejector port so I wrote a letter to the 'Shooting Times' magazine to inquire about it. They confirmed that it was indeed made for Montgomery wards by Browning in large numbers so therefore it has no collectors value but it would be a valuable shooter. Their advice: hang on to it! My son will have it when I'm gone. nb 0 -
The Blue Book crossover list shows it as a Savage (Stevens)model 520 polychoke. I think the Country Gunsmith is correct on this one. 0
