Hi,
I think it reads "Alpaca, Mexico". Unless there is a maker named Alpaca (or Alpala), I think this is made of the material alpaca (nickelsilver, neu-silber etc are other names for this copper-nickel alloy).

Definitely "alpaca", commonly used as a silver substitute in Mexican jewelry. See alpacca ->
