No M to be seen, and none expected really.

The final pic shows what seems to be a combined "MF" in an oval - to the lower right of the green bit. Easier to see when enlarged.

The MF appears to be in enamel & is probably just the decorators initials. Not to be negative about the piece, but Moser quality would seem to be non- existent in that regard.

Looks very Spanish. The M is suspect. I've had one Gordiola lantern that had the engraved signature added. The M resembles the Moser M to me. Since the pitcher, ewer, or whatever it is, is Spanish, I suspect the M may be an add-on -- not by the seller, since you mention he is an upright person, but by someone in the past.
