    The scales are indeed replacements, crudely but effectively pinned . The word 'EBRO' (not 'ERBO') was a Wostenholm trademark used as seen with twin Maltese crosses between about 1854 - 1867. At the same time and in the same place (Sheffield) George Wostenholm was also working at Rockingham Works, just to confuse things! Oddly enough the word 'EBRO' was also used by A. Kastor & Bros, USA, working from C. 1876 - 1947. They came to the USA from Germany I believe C. 1870. One of the brothers later returned to Germany and opened the Germania Cutlery Works, siezed by the NAzis in 1939.
