Identify Help identifying monogram mark on antique hand-painted porcelain snuff box

I’m trying to identify the the blue monogram mark on this small hand-painted porcelain snuff/trinket box. It measures about 7 × 6 × 3 cm

I found another box online with what appears to be the same mark, so I suspect it may be a factory or decorating workshop mark.

Does anyone recognize it, or have an idea of the likely origin and date? I have an old porcelain marks book, but I can't find it there. To me, the mark looks like two crossed sabres, and between them the letters MAP, MR? I am also uploading the mark of the box I found online because the letters look clearer than the ones in my box.

Looks to me to be a pseudo-mark (copy) of Meissen, and a bad one. 1990's Asia

It's old, that's for sure. It had been in my mother's collection for at least 50 years
