At various times I believe "Ted Williams" branded guns were made by Marlin, High Standard, Boito, Mossberg, Savage, and H&R, depending on model, type, etc. Some of them were quite good guns. The High Standard pump shotguns were sleepers in every guise, but darned fine guns. The look-a-like semi autos were often disasters.
I am not a Ted Williams expert by any stretch.
If it is a side by side, it is likely a Boito or a Savage I would think.

"Ted Williams" was the Sears store brand for guns during the 1960s-70s. Sears had a variety of gunmakers private label guns for them. For example, the Ted Williams M200, M300, and M400 were private labeled Winchesters (1200, 1400, and 101, respectively).

I believe High Standard made the 1950s vintage "JC Higgins" pumps that were sold by Sears.

This cross reference list should help:

Looks like your gun might be an O/U made by Boito (now the Stoeger Condor).
