What is this crimp on this M14-19 case?

The title says it all, I have this M14/19 case, made by the Germans, so far nothing very rare, but it has like a crimp about 2 inches from the mouth and it seems original, not some kind of trench art attempt. Has anyone seen this before? Is it serving a specific purpose? Cheers.
