Help to identify the cross.

Good afternoon, Gentlemen. Maybe someone knows something about this cross ( x60mm, 46g, gilded Br or Cu, revers the same). A few months ago I saw the same in the internet, but I can not find it anymore. Thanks.

I believe it is a Knight's Templar insignia. A quasi masonic organisation.

It's quite possible, thanks. But may be more opinions ?

The Masonic Knights Templar seem largely to use a different design of cross [below] thought the Scottish Templar have one which looks like yours in shape.  [Sorry, I've lost my cross vocabulary today but I think its called a 'cross patte'.]  However, like Paul, I strongly suspect it belongs to one of the religious or fraternal orders in Europe or N America.

Is that a donors' variation of the Knigjts of Malta? Or an Austrian Malta Knights' members' badge ? Major Zulus?

Good Morning.  Now it is known exactly that this is a Cross of 10-11 degree of Sweden/Norwegian Masons.

A nice accompaniment to the Order of Karl XIII

But where to find this order ? Is it a rare, expensive ?

Well spotted, Georg.
