I dont find any reference to a WesternField Model 35 as a shotgun. The Model 35 rifles were made by Mossberg... If you can send us a digital picture of the gun, we can identify it for you and give you direction on how to mount a scope. repair@countrygunsmith.net

Surely there are more markings on the gun. I can find a similar number on a Western Field (Montgomery Wards) double barrel shotgun which makes me suspect that it is Stevens/Savage 311 re-branded for Wards. This model designation was used after 1948.
Blue Book of Gun Values. IIRC, sold by Montgomery Wards and made by Mossberg
Montgomery Wards did not make guns, they were made by various companies like Mossberg, Savage, Stevens and Hi Standard. Who made guns /shotguns for JC Penney, Sears, and Western Auto along with guns for Wards. The brand name were put on the guns for the stores to sell. Take the Shotgun to a gun shop and get it identified first to find out who made it.

I don't find the Westernfield 530A but be careful: there is a Stevens 530 (1912 to 1918) that is a pump shotgun as well as the Stevens mod 530 (1935 to 1952) double barrel.
Westernfield was the store brand used by Montgomery Wards stores. There were dozens of different models- far too many to list here. These were made for Wards by regular firearms companies, such as Marlin, Stevens, Mossberg, Winchester, etc. The same guns were sold by Sears under the JC Higgins brand, by Western Auto under the Revelation brand, etc. You can find the listing at the bottom of the home page of the gunpartscorp website, under "store brand cross reference".
