Can anyone help identify this button found in a garden in Newland Street, Coleford?.

On the reverse, around the crimped lip, is stamped - I & P Pears & Co London

We have a suggestion that it "... looks like a Gloucestershire Constabulary button from the reign of Queen Victoria".

Thanks to Lynne Morris for adding "... could be a post office worker's button".
