Prototype's dies

A couple of novice questions.

I was wondering at what stage in the production the GL stamp would have been struck.

Stamps were meant to be a makers mark to identify specific craftsman/inspectors. That said with the GL mark being used on prototype/presentation lugers almost as a prestige mark is it possible that G. Luger delegated control of the stamp and the actual act of striking the GL stamp to a senior inspector?

Does this stamp still exist in some collection?
