Great old gun
I currently have 2, a 12 Gauge 26" I/C MOD with Walnut stock and marked JC Higgins. It's around 90% condition, good gun.
I also have a later 30" 20 Ga. MOD FULL marked Revelation which was a Western Auto store brand. This one has a Birch stock and pressed in checkering. It was my first real firearm. I changed this one to a straight grip and added some weight to it. It's a 3" chamber and will get your attention with magnum shells.
These gun's are the classic workingman's double. Savage-Stevens made about a zillion of them. Don't know if they made them for Wards, I have seen Sears and Western Auto, and of course Savage-Stevens.
They handle like a pig on a shovel, but are rugged and reliable. Shot my first round of trap with the 12 ga. using the modified barrel.
I soon learned there are much better guns for shooting trap! That said I prefer these oldies to the plastic junk that passes for a shotgun today.
