Help! Can You Help Me Identify This Brass Lighter?

I really will appreciate if some kind person can help me identify this lighter! It APPEARS to be vintage, European, and has distinct markings - a lion over a sideways letter M or W. It has a raised relief motif work. It still works!

Is it European, vintage? Who is maker and what is its age?

Thanks in advance for any help with identification. I have tried to look on line, library, but can't find info on this!
