K. U K. MORNARIČKA ZBIRKA

U spomen na  moju baku Theresie Titz - pronašao sam svoju ljubav prema antikvitetima i prekrasnim starim kolekcionarskim predmetima. Još od djetinjstva smo obilazili 4 najveća buvljaka u Grazu - godinu po godinu. Već u mladosti sam otkrio snažan afinitet prema ljepotama antikviteta. Moja baka je imala staru sablju u svojem ormaru. U to doba mi ta sablja nije značila puno tako da sam ju zamjenio za jedan drugi predmet koji mi se više svidio. Nakon mnogo godina shvatio sam da je to bila K u K mornarička  sablja - model M 1871. Upravo taj događaj je možda i najviše utjecao na stvaranje K u K mornaričke  kolekcije koju sam stvarao kroz zadnjih par desetljeća. Svaki kolekcionar treba partnera sa istim afinitetima - iznimno sam zahvalan mojoj prekrasnoj ženi Heudrun i bliskom prijatelju Ernstu Pölzeru koji se kroz dugi niz godina brinuo za restauraciju i kozervaciju  predmeta u kolekciji.

In memory to my grand mother Theresia Titz - i found my love for antiques and old beautiful collectibles. Since my childhood we have been visiting the 4 big fleamarkets from Graz - year by year. Already in my youth i got a strong affinity to the beauty of antiques. My grandmother had an old saber in her wardrobe. At this stage it did not have big importance for me and so i exchanged it with some other collectible. Many years later i realised that it was a K u K Marine saber - in fact the saber M 1871. That experiance had maybe strong influence to create this substantial K u K Marine collection over a few decades . Every collector needs a sympathetic partner - so i m very grateful to my lovely wife Heidrun and to my friend Ernst Pölzer who took care of restoration and conservation of the objects.
