probably needs a new pin installed.

The Swinden rivet has to be removed and the bolsters drilled out so you can pin the blades through the bolsters.
It is fairly simple if you are handy with tools.
You will need some nickel silver pin stock to pin it with.
It helps a lot if you have a 15° to 20° reamer to taper the holes when you peen the pin down.
Be sure to use a slackner of about 0.010 so the blade is not too tight.
