Last, a picture - wish it was of Asche No such luck, but of an Off-Stellv from his regiment in 1915 wearing his own binos.
Anyway, a small inexpensive item, but I really like it. You can't say with certainty but it was likely with him when he died. If it could talk it would surely tell a tale or two...the unit seemed to be fairly heavily committed during the early years of the war.
Thanks for looking....
Best,
Luc
