Are you sure that's Spahis Senegalais? Looks like Spahis from Armee D'Afrique.

glad you like the figure....ok lets explain the collective name for the Spahi
were Des Spahis Senegalais a la garde rouge if we take their natural progression
for my Tonkin Campaign these Spahi are Algerians ..so to call them Spahi Algerians would be correct...the Spahi Senegalais depicted above and shown by me in an earlier post are the uniforms worn in Dahomey,,,,much later and worn in that campaign up to 1900..the figures im doing are correct for Tonkin..more Arabic in style and more useful for many campaigns. the unit is still in being with the appellation "la Garde Rouge..
