Welcome aboard. Dirks of this general type traffic on auction sites for a couple of hundred usd. That doesn't mean they all sell at that level but I post a median level one might see.. Awards and presentations in class designations run from 1-4 with 4th class the most common and least important. Some internet searches on the Order of St Anna will show some of the guidelines. A dirk associated with a 1st class award/presentation, along with a provenance/chain of ownership or person receiving the honor; Stuff like that increases collector value. A 4th class item might be something even available to public sale when new but likely meant for anyone qualified as having done service.

Cheers
