I remember reading a question published (I think) in a "Guns and Ammo" about 12 years ago. It was from an American MP at the time his unit was changing over from the 1911A1 to the Beretta. Apparently they were offering the 1911A1's for sale to unit members at (I think) about $150 a piece.
Apparently a large number of guns in his unit were made by Union or Singer? He wanted to know if he should buy one or look for a real Colt!
