Merci! J'en suis content.

And thanks to all of you for your appreciation, gentlemen. But I am surprised nobody noticed that the helmet is marked to BAVII, whereas JR88 was under BAXVIII....

I noticed as I double checked here: http://www.kaisersbunker.com/gtp/New/infantry1.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So I emailed the bunker and he told me XVIII Army Corps had no Bekleidungsamt in 1911. A beautiful helmet.

Exactly! Therefore, from 1910, the 41st Brigade (JR87 + JR88) was attached to BAVII.
I recommend that you also take a look at this link:

This cartridge pouch has exactly the same markings as the helmet (also marked to 2B), as if the same stamp had been used...
