More pics would be nice but no way you went wrong price wise. Congratulations.
The stock finish is hard to be sure on. More pics of it and all numbered parts please.

To the extent your photos show and assuming that everything not shown is matching, original, and the stock is unsanded, maybe $1,400 give or take a couple hundred. It's a common code but it is a little less common than most dot 1944's as it was made at the start of production for that year when they were still using the four digit numbering with single letter suffix. That was kind of a minor variation. They aren't particularly hard to find or anything like that, just less so than the very common dot 1944 double letter suffix rifles and later dot 1944 five digit numbered rifles.
Numbers, markings, and wood edges. A little sanding can turn a $1,400 rifle into a $950 rifle. The stock and hand guard would have been numbered internally. Look at the internal appearance of the stock. The interior should be unstained. Look at the bolt cutout. The lines should be sharp. The rear sight and its slider would have been numbered to the rifle. At this point you have not posted photos of the bolt handle's numbered top flat. The firing pin and cocking piece were originally numbered on this rifle. Here's an example of a similar rifle listed in the picture reference you can use for comparison:
