Awards that stay connected to a named recipient are especially meaningful, because the name makes it possible to research the soldier's service history in archives. Silver Soviet awards with family provenance are a core focus for collectors of Soviet militaria. This piece is offered as found in the family, with its story available to the next owner, and makes a respectful addition to a collection of Soviet orders and medals or to a display honoring the generation that served in the Soviet armed forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Order of Military Merit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecipient information (name, year of birth) and a photograph of the soldier, on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree worldwide shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from Ukraine with a tracking number.
