Old Style Clasp Question

On the older style clasps for Subs and GMTs, there is a small pin going through a hole at the foldover part. On one of my watches, this is starting to push out a little (I pushed it back in when I noticed this, but am concerned about it dropping out at some point if it gets too loose). Can it be fixed or does the whole clasp need to be replaced?

If the latter, what's the approximate cost of a new foldover clasp?

Thanks

i'm unsure of what you mean by 'foldover part'... do you mean the flip lock? if so, then it is the same pin that is holding the clasp to the 6-o'clock links.

or do you mean the pin that is connecting the two blades?

The part that connects the two blades. If you look from the side, you can see a little pin in there that helps keep the two connected.
