Strange pin, need help identifying

[Metalgear]

Went out today, first time since a long time. Way to long Anyway, missed this web site and i am happy to be able to post my findings again I went detecting along the river and found this little pin. Have no clue what it is. It has the letters KOPS on it and a little figurine engraved in the middle. It is heavy for its size. Its about the size of a five cents coin. Little smaller. Anyone has a clue

The charm was given to people in the TOPS program. This was a weight loss program that was big back in the late 70's, My mother was a member and I recognized the pin from the picture. They used to give out charms for a bracelet that signafied your goals being reached.

TOPS = TAke Off the Pounds
KOPS = Keep Of the Pounds

If I remember correctly
