Cypher, VR for Victoria Regina/Rex? The crest is that for the P of W as you say, the cypher is the inter-twinned letters below the three feathers.

Could well be a ribbon to a Masonic or other Fraternal jewel. Victorian Masonic jewels very often had a scroll type top bar similar to that on your image. Is there anything at the reverse centre of the scroll? If so this is where the pin would have been.

You mean some kind of attachment on the backside?
I will ask him.

Just got this picture, there indeed is a pin.

Then I was say it is definitely the ribbon from a fraternal Jewel/Medal.
