    Yes, during the First World's War. They were marked "Remington-UMC," as I recall.

    Hello in late 1918 & early 1919 Remington UMC Made 21,676 model 1911 pistols They had their own serial numbers then. So one could have a colt 1911 and a Remington UMC with the same serial number being the frames were not marked as to maker on either the Colt or Remington UMC the way to tell is the Remington UMC were all Inspected and marked on the left side with EEC. and the Eagle's Head. just behind the trigger on the left side of the frame. The slide left side is roll stamped completely different from the colt but right side is almost the same. as with any 1911 from WW I Condition and if all original determines Value.
