The made in Germany stamps were applied by the importer/exporter and were done to comply with certain US laws requiring a firearm's origin to be clearly stated. As such, the quality or aesthetics of the stamp was unimportant to the broker moving the gun.
The factory would never allow such sometimes sloppy work.
To answer your question, poorly applied Germany stamps are not uncommon.
