This is a very rare very early ball turret internal double feed 50 caliber ammunition magazine from a sperry ball turret fitted to a very early B-17E.

The Boeing B-17C/D and the first fifty B-17E models retained the lower "bath tub" style gunnery position until it was decided to replace it with a bull turret, this ammunition box is from the first type of those ball turrets and was only used for a short period of time in the pacific until the army decided it was better to mount two separate ammo boxes on the turret gimbal inside of the aircraft instead of inside of the turret.

This was recovered from a bomber that crash landed in the pacific and has some damage, though being stainless material it is repairable.
