I just looked at my (admittedly modern) ring. The inscription on the inside of the ring and the maker's mark on the inside of the ring are oriented in one direction while the engraving on the outside of the ring and the ring's crest are oriented in the opposite direction. If the same rule applies to your ring then the former owner’s initials are "?.V.W."
But I still think "M.A.P." is correct.

Hmmm...I don't know. It's hard to see, but the more I look at it, and compare to modern script engraving fonts at least, it sure looks like "W" to me. I'm thinking the "upside down" version may be correct, and the initials appear to be "RVW". But it's so hard to tell.
