ALFA was a major dealer in both surplus and new German firearms in the pre-WWI period. My information is that there were approx 5 marks to the dollar during that period, it often was also around 4 marks to the dollar. At any rate 122 marks would have tranlated to about $30 US. I think that this would have been close to a good monthly US working wage for that time period.
