I picked up a National Postal Meter last month in Colorado to go with my Irwin-Pedersen, Saginaw S'G', Inland M3, and Inland. The seller said he bought it from the DCM years ago. I may contact them to see if they have any record of it. It has the following: IBM undated barrel flat bolt w/no gas port Type 3 extractor Type 1 ejector Type 3 firing pin marked I-I E279A slide marked SG on outside bottom Inland trigger housing Type 4a mag catch marked W.I. Type 4 safety marked J.A.O. straight hammer marked (dot)U(dot) unmarked M1 sear w/no hole JU-marked trigger Type 3 barrel band marked J.M.O. on the band and EM-Q on the lug M1 low-wood, oval-cut stock with S-HB in the sling well, AAV on the left side, P on the grip and (what looks like)'D A PITT' scratched into the slide well 4-rivet shallow handguard marked OI sideways W-marked recoil plate unmarked receiver except for 1 1 on the bottom of the trigger housing lug Most of the metal seems to have been sprayed or dipped with a very dark (almost black) O.D. finish that obscures or makes indistinct some of the finer details, such as the Inland marking on the TH, the IBM Corp marking on the barrel, etc. I've submitted a data sheet to the club. It came without a sling, oiler or magazine. The gentleman who sold it also had an IBM, a Winchester, an Inland, an Underwood and a Quality Hardware for sale. He told me he had sold a Rock-Ola the day before. Unfortunately for me, I only had the cash to buy 1. Scott |

Sounds nice- the DCM guns are some of the best of the rebuilds. I have my grandfather’s he bought in ‘63. Can you post some pics?
