Thank you Dick for the information regarding Ludwig, Isidor and George Loewe. After readings some articles on the Internet, I understand that Isidor (ludwig's brother) took over management of the company after Ludwig died in 1886, however, Ludwig's son George also worked in the DWM factory in upper management and, therefore, it is possible that the 'GL' hallmark on test and presentation Lugers is George's initials and not necessarily Georg Luger.

I was also informed by a prominent Luger collector that there was communication and business talks between H. Tauscher and George Loewe, and I believe that George Loewe played an important role in the DWM factory including the approval of test and presentation Lugers.
