Is this a TN or IN? It's on a Grand Rapids original. And there is a number on the left side like GR is known to have.
Edit: It has the proper original staking on the front of the sight. So, is this possibly a Taylor Freezer made part? WB calls it Taylor Freeger as a transfer to Grand Rapids under Saginaw operation, but Freezer under NPM.

Looks like TN to me, if you blow up the pic there are no disturbances in the metal on the bottom for a I. Neat part, haven't seen one like that before.

I am assuming it is on a S'G' and not an IP.
Number on the side large or small?
What barrel date?
