I would leave it in place if you are keeping the piece; as I said, stuff like this adds character.

FWIW, I have a beautiful C96 'broom that has a lovely sterling silver disc inletted into the right grip. In the center of the disc is the name of the Army Captain who brought it back as well as his unit and, around the circumference is engraved the campaigns in which he fought. Since I also have the "bring back" papers on the gun, I think it is a very unique piece of history that can be positively tied to one individual GI.

I also own the von Ribbentrop Luger, but thats a totally different story.
