I had a 1911A1 Remington with a Texas drivers license number on it. It affected the value greatly, much more than a couple of hundred...

As Alan said above, this was common in the 70's and earlier where I saw ads from police, from insurance, etc, specifcally suggesting putting your name, social or address on valuables, they named, electronics, vehicles, guns, bikes, almost anything and they would loan you the electropencils.
