It deleted my very eloquent answer when I voted... jeez

I would say, 1 of 2 things IMHO

1. Owner, back in the 60's or 70's this was considered a security measure and people were encouraged to put an identifying marking on an item.

2. Police evidence markings - I lean towards this, once finished, it was released, police were not known for being discrete 'back in the day'.

I would call this a low end collectable or a shooter, as it has etchings in two places, frame and barrel...
