A photograph failed to assist the Imperial War Museum and the identity of the individual is only of secondary interest to me.
Unless and until there is some solid rather than conjectural evidence that iron artefacts were produced from the Deutschland I doubt if I shall wish to proceed any further.
Ashtrays still appear from time to time on eBay. When I spoke to the grandson of the owner of the business that dismantled the Deutschland he thought the ashtrays were made of copper. But IIRC a recent picture on ebay did not look like copper.
