It shouldn't be more than a mm or so, if that.
Interesting that the handle has loosened on its travels, they are dry fitted and secured with a concealed washer under the ferrule, so holding the chisel in the air (not against a piece of timber) and giving the handle a sharp tap with a mallet should re-seat it.
Unless anyone else wants to have a look, pop it back to me and we'll top up the set and then auction it off, with all of the funds going to children's cancer charity clic sargent.
