Maybe .....snip...Are you going to make a copy of it?
Typically, the center could be fitted from a set consisting of divider points and cones of different sizes or sometimes various size hemispheres to locate off holes. My big Starrett set even has caliper points, a pencil lead/steel scribe holder and a draftsman's ink pen.Is there a point missing from the center shaft or whatever you call it?

Thanks for the pictures Larry, I should make the extra bits and a nice mahogany box for it.

old Biker,
Hey, that is neat!
My first thought would have been to clean it with electrolysis, but when you mentioned that the end is a spring, that pretty much precluded the use of electrolysis. Springs tend to get very brittle in "the tank."
There may yet be faint markings on it somewhere.
It's totally appropriate that the photo of this U.K. artifact includes a Rabone scale.
