Hi Artx,

If you use google image search  with the term antique horse petal toy you will find many of them.

Is this yours Artx ??  Or something you are thinking about buying ??  From what I can see it does not look like the fakes you usually see !! Problem is,, I see very little wear or paint loss even though the metal looks correct !!

Yes !!  There is a saying here " if it sounds or looks too good to be true,,,it probably is " !!  Keep in mind that these were kids toys,, where are the signs of use ??  It is would be a nice decorative item,, but I am not sure of the age !!
