What's my Regiment ?

Hey Guys, So I was wondering about the markings on my haube here...
The rear visor only has a lonesome R and the 29 ... w/1916. I was checking out your marker data base, and there is nothing with just an R. I would assume that it stands for Regiment. Inside the helmet is stamped 1914 and a circular makers mark stamp in which I can't make out. But I'm curious to hear what info your brilliant minds possess!Can anyone tell me anything about it? Thanks!~Max

Yes, Max, "R" stays for Regiment, in this case:
Infanterie Regiment N°29 " Von Horn" ( 3. Rheinische), VIII Armeekorps, with its garrison in Trier.
