I am considering buying a Colt Commando 38 spl. 4" manufactured in 1942 in good condition, no head space and cylinder is tight barrel looks good. However someone has etched what appears to be a social security number in the left side and on the bottom of the frame. I've never seen this before I'm attaching some pictures of the revolver below not sure if the etching will show up or not. any Idea if what this is or if it ruined the value and how much?

I called and got the serial No. its 47267 with a Z underneith it not sure if thats an inspector Letter or just what.
I just ran the SSN number and the pistol belonged to a Robert Clark from Michigan he was Born May 9, 1926 and Died February 1976 this information was found by Jewishgen.org and I used the Steve More .org website and the SSN number to get this information.
So having this makes this revolver more valuable to me I'm going to buy it.
thanks to all of you who participated in helping me to research this and give the feedback. I appreciate it greatly
