In 1985, for the 40th anniversary of Victory, a jubilee issue was presented to the surviving veterans of the war, which is why these orders carry high serial numbers like this one. An order with a known recipient is especially valued by collectors of Soviet orders and medals, because it connects the award to a real person and a real family history. A photograph of the veteran, along with his year of birth, can be provided on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoviet Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class, No. 3424639\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal screw-back nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
