Take this for what it is worth but my Ruth book puts that Inland serial number in the April of 44' manufactuer date. Also I think a N front sight would be National Postal Meter and I do not know if Inland would have used a NPM front sight. Take that for what it is worth also. It needs to be broke down and looked at by someone or more info provided to make a better assesment. Still looks like a nice Inland however..Goodluck finding the info you desire...Buttplate sure looks to be late Inland type..Thanks
