rbrown7713 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Three strands represented petty officers and senior seamen, and two for second class seamen and firemen. A single strand was used to identify a seaman or fireman third class or coal-heaver (not a very popular rating). The three strands were retained by the Navy when the display of rank went to the upper left arm. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted Wednesday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:25 PM According to the number 1670, it was built by Baldwin in the US, sent to England and then to Oran.. Over 2000 of these were built by, Alco, Lima, and Baldwin for the war, most used in England and after sold to many countries after the war. The star on the tractor appears to be an Algerian flag star, 5 points, and the star on the loco has six points, like the star of David from Israel, don't know. It looks like the star might have been attached on some packing wood maybe a joke, having to do with shipping. The loco had to travel between many countries to get to Oman, Algeria. Might have just been attached on a piece of wood that was used for the shipping, and not having any real meaning. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian clavel Posted Wednesday at 02:03 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:03 PM are you speaking really of OMAN ???????????? or ORAN (finger error on keyboard maybe) the tractor is an U.S with 5 points white star and in Algéria 1943 the flag was french flag without star. Now since 1962 algérian flag has a red star between a crescent moon leaning to the right while yours are straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM Christian, look closely at the star on the tractor and I see a crescent around the star, subdued. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian clavel Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:26 PM Yes I saw your videoS a few weeks ago good job and nice toy (and a caress to kitty) Bob !!! I am very very sorry but impossible to see a crescent around the star BUT for me (and many Américan people certainly ) it's the US ARMY emblem whose white circle (or yellow for 1941) has been ""erased "by time. A And the photo is distorted by the fold. and I saw your small machine gun on shelves mine is there https://modelismemilitaire.blogspot.com/2020/07/armement-page-9.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
