Default DIY or not ?

I recently got a nice old dagger and next to a few question (does the scabbard belong to the knife and is it from the Balkans) and a couple of doubts, I did like it so I acquired it.

My biggest challenge is the quillon, which is just like a spinning wheel; completely loose.

What would your advise in general be ? DIY or noy...?
Looking very much forward to your input, thnx a lot!
