Original WWI/WWII U.S. Military Browning M1917 .30 CAL. Machine Gun Wooden Ammo Box

Description

An exceptional, completely authentic piece of combat militaria. This original early-pattern U.S. GI hardwood ammunition box was purpose-built to carry cloth ammunition belts for the Browning M1917 water-cooled .30-caliber machine gun. It features the highly distinct beveled/wedge-shaped profile with a slanted bottom corner—a specialized military design engineered specifically to clear the gun's tripod mount during direct ground feeding. Also has the push-button open feature that is iconic to the Browning M1917.
