It's "Klopfer" IMO, a chinstrap manufacturer at Berlin. However I am surprised that there is no indications of year and location stamped too.
With best wishes

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
Looks like the maker stamp on the strap, LBA stamp usually in the liner. Signifys early LW pre-38 I believe.
Paul Klopfer the stamping missed a little on the date LBA is the Luftwaffenbekleidungsämtern at Berlin, Bielefeld, Sonnenberg are they others?

Eric
