Welcome to the forum. I encourage you to start a new thread under the Carbines of the Collectors section of the forum in order to tell us more about your NPM. 
Your Postal Meter's serial # is well within the range of known serial numbers. The list on the first page of this thread above is asking for carbines in serial number ranges that in 40 years of collecting have not been reported.

The base and the leaf are both marked BR.

The flip sight base of thie Rock-Ola 16728xx appears to be marked BR on the right side of the base. Do you know if there is any stamping on the leaf of this flip sight?

(OSS) Office of Strategic Services Carbines

30 October 1943, 12 National Postal Meter carbines with 24 magazines were shipped from the OSS Supply Division, Washington D.C. to Lt. George Bookbinder, Room 2133 in the OSS "Q" Building Washington, D.C.

The same shipment also included:
13 M191a1 pistols with holsters, 29 magazines, 13 pistol belts, 13 M1928 double magazine pockets.
13 Thompson M1928, M2 sub machine guns, 104 magazines and 3 sets of spares.

Carbine Serial Numbers
1505587
1519675
1520545
1523234
1523414
1524000
1524096
1524276
1524376
1524457
1525843

It is unknown where these carbines went from there.

If you have one of these carbines let us know for more information!

I have a mostly mixmaster Inland, 6,897,116, 2-45, Hand Stamped M1, which I picked up off Gunbroker a few weeks ago.  It is only a few days older than yours.  I would love to see the datasheet on your carbine if you think it is original.  I want to correct my carbine but Ruth and Riesch are a bit vague and there no Carbines of the Month within 97,000 of my carbine.

Thank you Panther. Your carbine is in the gap where serial numbers seemed to have been skipped. Could you post pictures showing the receivers Rock-Ola logo and and the barrels maker and date? Thank you for helping the Club update our records. It would be great if you could also provide a Data Sheet.

Just stating a simple fact, it's out there if anyone wants to look. As far as peeps having trouble doing Google searches, then how did they find this place?

One more thing, well over 90 percent of links posted on this site are tied to this site or the related sites up in the header. If anyone is having trouble with Google searches then this place is probably not going expand anyone's mind. Of course they are getting some pretty damn good information though.

Also, carbines posted on these forums ("Carbines of the Collectors" and "Featured Carbines") are more likely to be included in the "Serial Number Spread Sheets", a resource for members to view reliable information about carbine date related configurations, features and history.

Jim,
The list above is for serial number ranges that the club has had low or no reports.

Your carbine sounds like a very nice late Inland in the known serial number ranges.
I bet guys would love to see it.
I suggest the "Carbines of the Collector" section
