Help!Need case

HONOURED MEMBER RIP
My only Italian 37x94R Hotchkiss case had a soldered split in the neck. I noticed today the split has opened up and reached to within 24mm of the rim. I need a new case. I know they are not common as are all 37mm Italian cases. Would sure apprechate any offers of a replacement case. Or any other Italian, pre 1920 37mm items, for that matter. Thanks, Highlandotter
 
Hey 'dotter

Can't help with the annealing thing, but drilling an itty-bitty hole at the end of the spilt will relieve the stress/tension in the metal, at least stopping its spread.
Sorry, no Italian 37 case in the inventory.
