Question about engraving on A La Carte Leicas...

Accidentally posted this in the wrong forum earlier.

Is there any reason that Leica doesn't offer engraving on the black paint finish?

It's clearly the best aesthetic option and the one I would think most people want. The brassing after use is just gorgeous. I'm a Camera Operator and I'm the first person in my family to be in the field. I've had to grind for everything and had no connections or equipment to help me on my way. I want to be able to give something to someone close to me when I grow old if someone else in my family also falls in love with the form as I did. I would like it passed it down like many people pass down watches. I can find nothing better than a fully mechanical Leica MP with my family name engraved on it. I don't plan on getting rid of the camera at any point so I'm not worried about personal engravings bringing down the retail value.

How does silver age over time on the Leica bodies? If it's my only choice for engraving then it looks like it'll have to do. Unless someone knows of a way to get engraving on the black paint finish!
