Landwehr Bavarian Pioneer Pickelhaube

Hello, I am thinking about marking my pickelhaube. It wasn't noticeable at first, but after gently cleaning the letter J.L.B. appeared. Is that a Infanterie Landwehr Bataillon? Inside the B. I. 1912 stamp. Pickelhaube are Bavarian pioneers with an officer range added.

I.L.R. means Infanterie-Leib-Regiment.

Thank you very much for deciphering the letters, it was very helpful. Regards

Now I wonder if a pickelhaube in this form, a combination of fittings, could have been used by a Leib soldier?

Beautiful wappen.
