Western Auto used several trade names for firearms, including "Revelation," "Western Field," and "J.C. Higgins." These brands typically encompassed a range of products including shotguns, rifles, and ammunition, often produced by other manufacturers but sold under Western Auto's labels. The Revelation line, in particular, was known for its budget-friendly firearms during the mid-20th century.
Well, Western Auto never made guns. I believe your Model 207 was made by Marlin, as their Model 336 Carbine, and marked with the Western Auto Revelation brand. Western Auto seems to have dropped out of the firearms business by the 1980's.
