I never saw this monogram before. What is it for ? Is it Winchester original ?

Hello Pete,

The monogram (WES) is not factory original (contrary to the claim in the listing). Additionally, the original Ivory Knife Blade front sight has been replaced with a Lyman No. 4 Hunting sight. Finally, I personally think that it is overpriced by at least $5K.

Prety proud of that isn't he, I am thinking it's a bit overpriced.
