One reason is to help determine if I can use +P ammo. It is not clear to me whether the older versions will handle the higher power rounds. Of course, I could only use the lower power rounds with no worries...
The other reason is just my curiosity about the history of the weapon. I don't think there are any other markings to help. It is not critical.
