Military (cuff?) Button

In between Monkeys, turtles, and snakes I managed to find a wiped copper and this military button. Any idea about the shank? Thanks everyone |) |:cheering: |)

I've only found 2 like that -they both have 'P' for Police/Postmaster and found that they're uniform buttons and the wire posts for putting on the hat/cap.
