Mio nonno è morto all’età di 93 anni e diceva di essere polacco della regione polacco-cosacca. Scomparso durante il Covid. Lui e i suoi 5 fratelli hanno guadagnato 4 Purple Hearts. Voglio indossare l’anello nel modo giusto per onorarlo. Grazie.

We do not use double-headed eagle as a symbol anywhere. This is either Russian or Prussian in origin.
First option looks more natural. But, I don’t know, this two-head eagle looks Russian, not Polish, maybe ask on their sub? Or your grandfather was mason…
If he wore it, I’m afraid he had nothing to do with Poland. For us, the double-headed eagle is a symbol of repression and persecution of Poles. No Pole would wear it out of respect for their roots.
Definately imperial russian eagle. Not many Poles would wear it proudly

Was there a real Polish-Cossack region? I honestly don’t know about cossacks in poland except during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
I associate Cossacks with being no more western than western Ukraine.
During partition of Poland, two (out of three) invaders had DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE as their symbol / in their coat-of-arms. In this case (based on your Polish-Cossack region, which may mean current Ukraine) – this most likely is a symbol of Russian Empire (second being Austrian Empire).
Either way – definitely something that no Polish person would ever wear!
