Default Wow!!! Enough for a "NEW" Luger!

I was browsing my library this evening, and came across one of my German relative's old books. When I opened it, this dropped out!

Printed in Berlin February 7, 1908, this Imperial ReichsBankNote for 100 Marks was worth about $25 at the time in US Currency.

If I'm not mistaken, that's about enough to buy a brand new Luger...

Oh well, if that "Way Back Machine" ever gets working, I've got the right cash!
