I have to ask -- did Dahl _KNOW_ you were looking to need 500 of these in 100-piece lots?  That might have made a difference on the prototype price.

Of course, if the Chinese used Norinco to supply subcontracted labor, there's a very good reason they could beat the price of an American manufacturer who has to PAY his workers.
