The FG are the owner's initials, not a maker's mark. From it's form, the cann is more likely 19th century Dutch or German.

Are there any other marks ?

My gut reaction, probably due to the gauge of the metal and some proportional clumsiness, is Spanish Colonial - Mexican or South American. I've moved it here to other European in hopes of some varied input.
