As far as M1's go the higher the SN the better. There were blocks of numbers that were assigned to the different manufactureres. All the SN's above the last assigned block...High 5M's were SPECIAL ORDER M1's built one off by the Springfield Arsenal in MA. They were built primarily as with NM or Trophy rifles.
There are very few of the Type 1 NM rifles built in the mid to late 50's left in orginal configuration. Most have been upgraded to Type II NM, an easy tell is to check the date stamp on the Barrel. The Type II's have 1962 barrel dates.
