Military? Insignia

[on.off]

this is a silver pendant i found which depicts crossed rifles and lightning bolts within a laurel wreath. it looks military but i am not sure what branch. it has a bail at the top and the quality of the piece is a little suspect, so i do not think it is an actual military issue piece, but rather a piece of jewelry copying a military design. the back is stamped "ML." is it a specific branch, or just pseudo-military motifs?
thanks!

hi don,
here is the back.
stamped "ML" and another tiny circular mark--it could be a © or some other kind of logo, it is very tiny.

I was hoping it would have a silver mark or silver designation; like, '.925'.

It is interesting that the rifles appear to be muzzle loaders.

no silver quality marks or hallmarks. the details are not as fine as i would expect on an antique or even vintage military silver piece (look at the somewhat crummy details on the leaves, for example). somehow i feel it is not a very special piece. if that little circle is a © then it is probably 70s or 80s and just a junky pendant.

however it does test for sterling
