IIRC the pre WWII rate of exchange was 1 Pound Sterling=$4USD.
The Walther .22 rifle would have cost $40US back then, I think about
$200US in today's dollars. In 2000 I spoke to an English-born English
Bicycle enthusiast, he said the cheapest 3 speed bicycle before WWII
was the Hercules, said it cost 4Pounds Sterling, about a week's wages
for an average laborer (assuming he was employed.) I recall my late
mother (born 1913) telling me that the first minimum wage law under the
New Deal specified US$15 for a 44 hour week. In 1940 the pay for an
E-1 (lowest enlisted rank in the US military) was US$21, when Congress
passed the peacetimed draft law that was raised to US$60
