Watch fob?? Or hat pin??

Found in an area with civil war relics. Back is blank with no obvious attachment points

Show us the back. Does the top look like it may have had a bar broken off?

I can't see any obvious broken areas on top like for a watch fob. I'll grab some more pics and post them

my opinion is that it's a late 1800's police hat badge similar to this the one on this old Boston Police hat

Here are some better pics

After Jewelerguy's post and seeing the back, I sort of think it is a police badge. I found two with PP but they stood for Palestine Police. This one is Chicago Police.

Very interesting have been searching but can't seem to find a police badge like it:
