there is holes in the can at the bottom where the handle might have been at one time. I don't know if the handle is in the original position. You can see them in the picture

A guy told me it came out of a P-39 could that be?

This is supposed to be a WWII military ammo magazine or ammo can for a plane. I dont have a clue. I thought it might be some kind of shell catcher box for a machine gun.At the bottom you can just make out the words (START HERE 300 RDS) Any info would be great
