yes, singer only made 500 1911a1's a union switch had two contracts one for 30000 and a second for 25000 total of 55000 ,the second rarest of 1911's , I carried a Remington rand and still have it , I do not have the original brown resin grips ,but they are plentiful,but will keep it as it was given to me , the lexan grips are not yellow like most are , I think the pistol is well preserved for being made in 1943
