    1. Nice post Mr. Nick, its a rare book to have... Thank you for sharing the photos.
    2. Hi again drclaw or Mr. Gavin (pls correct me if im wrong), it is really a nice design and a nice peace to have in own collection, but price is high due to its rarity.....By the way Congratulation also Mr. Gavin, it is a nice and rare medal.
    3. Hi again drclaw, ya your right i think not more than a hundred peaces did survive and your welcome im also happy to share some information about the medal, so it will remain its history to other more people and collectors.....by the way nice post also about the Chinese Orders and medals, i like it....i do also collect some Chinese Orders, but very few, due to alot of fakes in the market and sometimes dont know which is real and fake, if it is original price is high too. Thank you
    4. Hi again drclaw, i see.....by the way even in here many older overseas Chinese in Philippines also dont like to collect Japanese related items, especial related to WW2... About the Tirad pass Medal, i think i was only award once in May 4, 1944, due to there is no other documents ...15 to the Constabularies and 1 to the sister of General Gregorio del Pilar (which was the person in the medal), total of 16 pcs...it is also nice to know that the Japanese, did actually plan to use General Gregorio del Pilar as a war hero medal and a propaganda against US.... to make the Filipinos remember the issue of what did the Americans did to General Gregorio del Pilar during the Phil- American War, and what did the US did to Philippines during that time. By the way there is only one constabulary did receive the medal alive during May 4,1944, and 14 constabularies have been receive by there family members, due to they have lost their lives during the their service. After the war, i think there are still few pieces of medals that where survive in the mint house of the famous medal maker "Crispulo de Mendoza Zamora" during the early & mid of 20th century in Philippines.
    5. Hi again drclaw, i think President Laurel, has been considered by some Filipinos as traitor of the country, but some Filipinos did believe he had just been used as a puppet during the Japanese occupation... because in 1951 he was elected as a Senate.... He was also urged upon to run for President in 1953, but he declined and became appointed as a head of a mission tasked with negotiating trade and other issues with U.S., which resulted to be called as "Laurel- Langley Agreement"..... But the collectors here, very few do collect Laurel's items, due to some don't like him and some do look him as a traitor of the country......unlike Rizalian's collectors they are alot in here, due to Jose Rizal was Idolized by many Filipinos.
    6. Ya your right drclaw, they like to use that term "Bandit suppression".....in some other news papers or in other articles, this term can be mostly see too, during the puppet state of Philippines
    7.
