If it has the intertwined WRA emblem, it was made by Winchester, but it is not considered a 'real' Winchester by collectors. If it has 30 WCF (30 caliber Winchester Center Fire), that is another name for the 30-30 cartridge it uses and the rifle could have been made by almost anyone.
Western Field was the name brand used by the Montgomery Ward company for their line of sporting goods including guns.
