German rococo silver snuff box mark of IP

Please could anyone confirm to me, if the 'racing horse' mark shown, is indeed the correct city mark for Stuttgart, used in the mid 18TH century? Could anyone identify the maker's mark IP ? I like to thank you in advance. For pictures see:

Could it be a rearing horse instead of a running horse? Or Schwäbisch Gmünd used from 1720-1788 see Marc Rosenberg volume II # 2178 and # 2179. Appreciate an expert opinion. Thanks.

Hello Theoderich an Patrick

Thank you very much. The maker's mark is IP. For me it looks more like a rearing horse. However I do not have Marc Rosenberg volume III to check out Stuttgart. The maker's mark IP and city mark are on this picture:
