I have had also one, I think from India but can't remember exactly how it was built and don't find the pictures, sorry. Your one just can come from everywhere.

Hi Fernando,
The "system" of dots on your scale is similar to the "system" on old opium scales. Also the sliding weight idea is similar. I guess we can only surmise as to the graduations, or where these scales originated.
