I picked this case up at a good price and it was used but not very much and I need to either get a new crown of a good fix method. The crown appears that the threads in the crown itself are stripped but the cylinder inside the crown that is tapped is ok. Front ![]() | |||

Nice case Claude....what's wrong with the crown that is on it now...? Does not look too worn at all.... Regards, Jerry | |||

It will come off, as far as I can tell the threads in the crown are stripped. I would rather keep the original crown so I wondered if epoxy, solder or some other method would cure the stripped threads. | ||||

Send a note to Leon, he may have a majic cure for this type thing....I agree the original crown would be best if it could be made to work.... Regards, Jerry | |||

I'm sure there might be a better way Claude, but I once wrapped the threads on the staff with some plumbers tape, and it worked relly good. Nice looking case!! ![]() Regards, Larry | |||

Larry I worked with it a bit so it is fitting tighter so the teflon/pipe tape might be the finishing touch. | ||||
