Thank you, awty...
I think your camera would be more valuable if it had your name on it, you could call it "Vaughan's Conveyor of Light".
Think it would be great for someone to find a camera with ChristopherCoy engraved on it in a dusty attic somewhere in the future. They will wonder who you were and what pictures you took.

I think 'Von's Light Trap" is fancy enough.

When I bought my V5 new from Central Camera in 1988, I had Jack Deardorff engrave the front metal of the turntable, "Made expressively for My Name 8-1-88". Kept me from getting rid of it because it had my name and I could not replace it. Jack, the Company and Central Camera are now gone, but I still have my camera! Wish I'd had my 8x10 also engraved as then I would have kept it and not sold it. My wife can use my V5 for my ashes for all I care!

I admit I do have a black Dymo label tape sticker on the back of each of my five Canon F1s with just a number on (1 to 5) to be able to easily tell them apart and identify them on my equipment spreadsheet, but nothing more.
