I believe your Westerfield rifle was made for Montgomery Wards stores by Mossberg as their model 346K. These were made from about 1958-1971. If your rifle has no serial number, it was made prior to 1968. That was the first year that Federal law required serial numbers on rifles.
I believe your rifle was made for Montgomery Ward as the Mossberg Mdl 346K. Made from ABOUT 1958-1971, and there was never an "instruction manual". There was an envelope attached to the trigger guard, that held one folded (and very basic) instruction PAGE. The link below will take you to that page.
