If I recall correctly, the handle is held on it's shaft with a plated screw with two holes in the head to use to tighten/loosen the screw. The handle has a small woodruff key providing a direct connection between the hands and shaft..
I seem to remember that if the handle retention screw is not fully seated, the handle and the first dial are free to move on the shaft.
I'd remove the handle retention screw and see if there is a problem like a burr on the woodruff key, or some other obstruction keeping the handle and dial from moving forward and properly controlling the endplay of the shaft.

Roller thrust bearing? The ones that I've seen use ball-type thrust bearings.
Is the backlash the same all along the screw?
Does the gap in front of the dial change?

Take a look at the handle retention screw: if the handle is NOT pushed all the way onto the shaft, then there WiLL be endplay and a gap in the dial.
If the original Moarch screw is not around, find a proper threaded bolt or screw, put a suitable washer under the head, and thread it on.. The end of the shaft is roughly flush with the outer edge of the bore through the handle's center.
This screw in the middle of the shaft and it's job of pushing the handle as far in on the shaft as pose is the method in this design of having zero end play..
