Thank you very very much for helping me

It's plated. The mark before the plume of feathers comprises the letters "EP" (electroplate).

thank you for your help :)))

does anyone has any idea when this horse shoe inkwell was made?

Can't find any on internet.

Thank you :)

As with most electroplate it is very difficult to be at all accurate with dates. My suggestion would be early 20th century.
