Just guessing, but the idea of engraving something for a gift is a great idea as a memento. Most of these guns were bought in era to be used by the buyer and not by alot of prestigious folks that maybe monogrammed things is my guess. The fact that Parker put a place to monogram and low percentage of guns that actually has an engraved badge sort of speaks to this, especially for the lower grade guns. Maybe the higher grade bespoke guns have more monogramming?

I'm sort of indifferent to it, as to creating value that really depends could help, could hurt. But if you own the gun and it makes you happy have an initial(s) on it, go for it who cares. I guess real question is a personal issue, would you pay more or less for a gun monogrammed for or by some Joe Blob regular fella? It sort of like reincarnation idea. When someone says they are reincarnated its always someone famous and not some regular guy (Crash Davis, Bull Durham)
