The fact is, it is was a very nice razor, regardless of what had been etched there or not. What possible motive would someone have for taking a razor and etching something on it?
If I had an etching that I wanted to restore I would definitely do this, but only if I could assure that it was true to original form. In my mind this is about the same as making new (to old standards) scales or bullseye washers or whatever. But I wouldn't do it unless I knew it was there originally.
