Help Identifying age of Belgian Browning HP

[tucker05]

I am having extreme trouble identifying the exact age of one of my pistols.
As far as I can tell it is a very early Inglis HP. The problem is there is no inscription on the left side of the pistol indicating the manufacturer. The mag indicates it is an Inglis as the baseplate is the same unusual design as the Inglis with the letters "JI" stamped just below the hole in front of the latch. The mag follower is also aluminum. The serial number of the pistol is stamped on the slide, frame, mag baseplate and rear of mag body. There are no letters in the serial number which is again confusing (199##). The grips are wood.The lanyard is in the center, bottom rear of the grip. This pistol is completely original with no modifications except many years ago in my youthful wisdom (read stupidity) I had a Wichita sight rail added as the rear sight crept up when the pistol was fired.
If anyone can help me with this delema it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Update: It seems this is a Early (pre-war?) Belgian Browning produced by FN...still looking for date of manufacture...Thanks to all who have helped thus far

Posting several photographs of both sides of the pistol would certainly help. It could be a parts pistol, where the parts made it out of the Inglis factory in a lunch box.

I have a friend who has one like that. New original parts with a serial number stamped on the frame and slide - not engraved like the numbers should be.

The serial number should be 3T**** and I was issued a CH**** at one time.

Well, they were only made for 2 years, 44 and 45 IIRC.

Grips should be black plastic, not wood.
Anything besides the markings on the mag - proofs or acceptance marks on the pistol?
I see your ad in the EE, with the slotted backstrap it is either a CH Inglis - or perhaps an early FN?
Too bad its a bubba, it might have been quite collectable
