Great Job !
And for all a scarces original documents of the French Tirailleurs !

Specificity of the bodies of Algerian infantry (shared with Spahis), the officer corps is composed of native officers, to the rank of lieutenant. They wear a specific outfit: jacket and vest Arabic form in sky blue cloth, decorated with braids and gold stripes (full dress) or black silk. Grades Hungarian shaped knots on the sleeves. Arab pants sky blue cloth, in fact often neglected in favor of pants decorated with black silk chamarrures. Fez and turban, soft boots in black patent leather.
Why not the future figure from Ellie's ?

The Eagle
For the flag there is no original image remains only the Eagle 1 Turco, the flag burned at Sedan in 1870 so it does not fall into the hands of the Prussians. A few days earlier, the Eagle had charged the battles of Wissembourg and Freschwiller.
