Signed Bronze Box of the Witch and the Soldier. Artist?

[the_piedmonte_family]

I came across a nice bronze box with Hans Christian Andersen's Tinderbox characters (The Soldier and the Witch) on the lid.  

(About 4x4x1.5)

Does anyone recognize the artist, JM? Is it Danish? Age?

Thanks in advance for looking

Similar examples (possibly the same piece?), but not much in the way of additional information regarding the artist, unfortunately:

This is a great help.  My intention is to sell and I don't like to puff up my listings.

It's interesting that the example you posted are wood lined, while mine is velvet and more of a ring or dresser box.

Thanks for effort.
