Maybe it was made in Netherlands? Some military item were marked with M.v.O. Ministerie van Oorlog ( Ministry of War)

What does the pictograph represent? Is it a team of horses in a yoke pulling a plow?

 

[Mark the swede]

I thought it was an ox,

Interesting, still trying to figure out the character on the bottom

I agree it looks like an ox pulling a plow (though it is slightly reminiscent of a rhinoceros ). There are some ox related makers marks out there, but this one is looser and more stylized than those other, 19c, examples. Can you take more pics so we can see the profile of the head, the handle? Is there a label on the handle, even if only the remnants?
