The brake shoe pivot pins, front and rear, should be tight. If they are loose there will most likely be brake judder or snatch. The rear pivot pins on a '35 have a plain shank and should be peened over tight when fitted. Very common for them to work loose as you describe, either punch them back up tight, or if that fails, perhaps a touch of braze on the back. Another possible solution is to replace them with the very early type front pivot which is the same shank diameter but longer and threaded to take a nut. This type may be available from the cherished suppliers, but specify the very early type, not the later one with a much bigger thread diameter.
