This is cross with pin in at anther angle. It was temporarily identified as modern copy but as you can see if the superimposed pin is reversed the sword would go at correct angle as per posting. The pin was said to be a Russian death squad logo. There is one listed on ebay with engraved recipient on back. It is still with guilt sward. I believe this to be copy because od manufacturing in caucuses at time. My sword , thorns, pin seem much more idicative of period manufacturing. I picked up in Krasnador kray region in 204; where there was no demand for copies at all.
This is a Kornilov regiment badge. For reference check out these:
