I've seen similar methods employed to remove the trademark on counterfeit goods that can still be of value.

I had some Takumar lenses that had "Asahi" ground away. Reason? Honeywell Corporation had exclusive rights to sell Asahi products in USA, thus making import of Asahi products illegal. So some folks altered their lenses.
