They did it because they wanted to. Or they engraved it themselves because it is what they had around and again, wanted to do it. As far as value, it is what it is. It is not worth any more because of the engraving. And it is worth less than a decent condition gun of the same grade/gauge would be because of it. The work is overall on the amateur side by way of quality. It is not like people would be fighting over it if it were for sale.
It has the most value to you, who inherited the gun from someone who cared enough to leave it to you.
