My Winchester, along with all that I have ever seen has a large "W".
I have never seen a small "w" like that.
The bolt cut out does seem to be that of a Winchester. Each company
had a slightly different shape. IMHO it appears that the "w" was stamped after all of the original markings ( W & eagle proofs) were sanded off during a arsenal rebuild. The rebuild stamp and proof are still strong.
The rifle itself appears to be a Eddystone.

I have a Winchester with the same marks. According to some photos that Don Wilson sent me, I beleive that it is a Winchester stock. Don't know why that had big "W" marks and small "w" marks. My serial number is 168423. Is your's close?
