Default French Algerian Tirailleur?

Here is an older badge that has long escaped me as far as a firm identification. By the looks of it appears to be a 1st Algerian unit?? Based on the symbolism. It also appears to be a theater made piece. The backing material is two pieces. If any of our French members have any thoughts they would be much welcomed.

thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,

Could be 1st Tirailleurs Algeriens or .. 1st Spahis Algériens.
Very unusual construction... Interesting.

Best regards .. Herve

Hello Herve,

Thank you for your thoughts. Had not considered Spahi.

Best
Jack
