It looks more that the copper wire wrap moved up. When I gently push it down, the quillon remains in place and stuck as it ought to be.
Question now rises is how to maintain this postion of both parts ( quillon and copper wire).
What to do to refrain the copper wire from moving up again?

A couple of drops of super glue should do it....

You could use a copper washer of correct diameter and cut a slot in it so it slides over the tang. It may fill the gap and be friction tight. Slide the wire over it and use glue as mentioned.
