How much is the pour le merite medal worth?

An authentic ww1 era PLM can be anywhere from $22,000-$35,000, depending upon condition and whether there is strong provenance or not. The value of the medal is enhanced if- 1. there are supporting documents 2. photos and additional makers 3. rarer subtypes of the award (which were awarded earlier in the war). The vast majority of PLMs that are "available" are fakes or post war reproductions. The characteristics of authentic Wagner, Freidlander, and Godet PLMs are nearly impossible to reproduce, given multiple specific die flaws and the chemical composition of period enamel.

Generally several different thing can cause (RLS) restless leg syndrome. It can range from Diabetic Neuropathy from type 1 diabetics, poor circulation. Also a lot of HemoDialysis patients get RLS.....Hope this was helpfully The above poster gave good advice, but on a less scary thought restless leg syndrome is caused by the lack of Potassium in your body. My husband use to suffer from it. He went to a Homeopathic doctor who put him on pills with Potassium and Magnesium (Magnesium is needed to make the Potassium absorb in your body.) It took a few months, but it worked. I have a girlfriend that is extremely high strung and when nervous (she never sits still) she will bob her leg up and down constantly or stretch her legs. It is a good idea to also have your thyroid check out (T3/T4 blood test.)
