My cameras have factory serial numbers. Those are enough for me to insure them, and, identify them if stolen.
Engraving anything on the camera or lens would personalized it and reduce its value. Who would want to buy a camera with someone else’s name, rank or serial number on it?
This engraving has nothing to do with names etc.
It is enhancing the look of the camera.
And who gives a crap about resale. If the camera is actually used it will have far more scrapes and dings than any engraving and after 10 years has no real resale value anyway.
Only equipment collectors not shooters who trade in every month to brag about having the latest model worry about such nonsense.
If a camera is truly used it will show it.
