What is it?

Hi Detief, I have done some searching for information on Taji and up to yet have not found a great deal on boxes that are the same as mine but I did find tubular wooden boxes which when closed looked very similar but when open the blades were located in holes drilled in the circular base, the outside tube being lifted off to reveal them. The base did not have a central dividing pillar and was not connected to the lid as mine are. These were said to be from Sulawesi so I wonder if that's where mine come from.

Regards

Hi Miguel,

could be, I really don't know since I never have seen similar ones. The Philippines could be another possible origin.

Hi Detief,

Thanks for your reply. I have been looking at Filipino cock fighting blades which seem to be different in their form and attachment method to those from Indonesia so I still feel that my blades and boxes are most likely to be Indonesian

Hi Miguel,
very good possible. I only have seen boxes from Java and Bali and like you can see in complete up I have already problems to differentitate between this both origins!

One short note, my name is Detlef and not Detief.

I know that it's not an easy name!

Best regards,
Detlef

Sorry for not noticing your earlier query, Miguel.

Also sorry for being unable to provide any info on your taji. In fact I know precious little about cock spurs or cock fighting. Whenever I saw interesting boxes of spurs in the days before cock fighting was banned, I used to buy them, I've got maybe 6 or 8 boxes of spurs, but since cock fights have been banned, except for religious purposes, I haven't seen any boxes of spurs.

I do have a single spur in a small bambu tube, but I have no idea where it is from, it is a bit different to the Jawa/Bali spurs I have, in that there is a loop forged into the end to facilitate tying it into place.
