Jim,
They call it engraving, a once-flourishing art form that largely disappeared because of cost-cutting measures in musical instrument factories.
There is a company in Elkhart, IN, called Artistic Engraving, that does a really good job of this, and there are a couple of other places in the country where you can get this done well. As long as you get it professionally done, it should not hurt the value of the instrument. The people at Artistic Engraving have a number of historical patterns to choose from, or can do an original for you.
