Hi Robin,
Welcome to the MLU. According to common knowledge, there is no such thing as a 44 WLC. There are 1944 built 43 WLC but there are no 44 WLC, just as all wartime WLAs are 42 WLA even if they were built in 1943, 44 or 45. There are therefore no bikes with a 44WLCxxxxx engine number. The VIN number you have on your engine sounds very much like a re-numbered case number, maybe on a blank NOS case or a restrike on a ground down VIN boss. I have heard rumours once of a 44WLCxxxxx engine case, but with no substantiating proof whatsoever. WLCs were only made as 42 models and 43 models, 42WLCxxxxx and 43WLCxxxxx. Hope this helps a little bit. Maybe you could post some pictures of your bike? François

I am restoring a 42 WLC .this is an original one as I am the second owner .The number on the case is 138xx .this number is stamped under the seat as well probably when some work was done on it by the army .You need a book . How to Restore Your MiLitary Harley Davidson by Bruce Palmer There is only the two years that WLC was used 42 43 and in those years there was changes made that can tell you wheather it is an earlyone or later
I think that the 42 has to be the most costly one of all the harleys to restore George
