Default "Signing" your pens ... and other small items

I would like to "sign" my pens and other small turned products. Since
the items are small, may I ask what some of you do to identify a small
turned object as "Your Work".

I've thought about small, unique shaped inlays ... Branding or burning
with a small metal iron ...


I have a small maker's mark that I use on all of my items except pens.
Well, stick pens I use it on, but not any type of mechanical pens.
There' s just no subtle way to do it, really. I suppose you could
engrave it under the clip, but it would still be visible. I use
either a woodburner or an ultra-fine point Sharpie. Usually the
woodburner, though.
