For the big D Day build up the British got most of the US contracts for most of the replacement canteen covers made in 1944.

In my opinion though the US made 1944 dated covers were issued to new replacements boot camp GI's over here headed to the theater or war after D Day as they were needed remember tons of 1942 and 1943 covers were made and in the system in 1944 so no big need for new covers in 1944

This covers manufacturer is a easy maker to get there are far more rarer makers of 1944 covers also it's mint and myself a canteen cover collector soon as the water was splash on the cover it would stain making it hard to find mint examples.

Not a bad price for one of those, especially in that condition!

One Cover which is much tougher to find than even these are the '43-dated ones made in O.D.#7.

When I was a teenager I collected US WW2 and I had at least 30 different canteen sets including British Made ones. I a similar set with that 1944 dated cover. Maybe two...
