Hey Mike, Thanks for helping . Its marked XXX in front of the sword but its in a spot where you can't get in up close...wish I could ,cause it looks like there is writing on the sword but its behind a wheel on the carriage. I took a Q-tip and cleaned just that spot so I could get a better look but no luck

It does look like a sword. Wonder what the XXX is for.
Is this a master salt of some kind?
Could you show the whole thing - I think I have the driver?
Interesting piece.

Good morning Ladyjewels, Thanks for helping. Heres a picture of the whole 6 horses and carriage. Not sure if its Cinderella or not. Couple weeks ago one real close to it was on eBay but not the same marks (on door or silver marks) Measures about 6-1/2 inches long and 1-3/4 high (at the highest point).
I don't think it has a use...its just a look see lol at least thats what I've been doing with it for a couple months now. Everybody that comes in the house . Look ,see what I got ,isn't it pretty

Thanks Ladyjewels ! I'm gonna sell it soon but was hoping to put a maker name to it first. I've asked for help on the eBay boards also. So far I've had 1 helper over there. They wrote "I can't tell you about the maker, but the little sword or dagger mark certainly looks like a 19th Century Dutch fineness mark for small silver items."
