Thanks BC for the comment and also the correct terminology.
Is it known when they went from aluminum to steel?

Sept.1944 according to my reference book. "Sept.1944 the aluminum previously used in the manufacture of canteens & cups was replaced with a heat-treated lacquered plate, red in color & etched".
"Despite the official date...copies can be found from 1943"
So.....looks like 1943

I have a lacquered canteen in my collection. It has no markings but the cup was dated1944. Tom might have more info on the cups. By the way, don't even think about drinking out of that canteen! NH
