Those were "fountain" pens, Rich!
I think the ink markings add history to the piece. Observe how excited archeologists get when someone's name appears etched in a stone! Imagine finding a Roman sword with the legionnaire's name etched onto it! I find it especially fascinating when the name, unit, date and place of capture and other details are known thanks to these markings. |
