I'm definitely dragging out my Shostle engraved 60 no dash as soon as I can find some "quality" leather. Seriously (at the risk of high jacking this thread) I would love to know if you ever did any research on your Ben Shostle gun. I am trying (with little results so far) to track down more info on this founder of FEGA, Master Engraver from Muncie Indiana. His daughter Donata is evidently still around but don't know if any old records were kept. I saw another Shostle engraved S&W on the I-net that had a certificate describing the work and the stocks signed and dated by Ben, but cannot get mine tracked very far. What are the stocks on yours (horn, antler?). The Rocky Mountain Big Horn Ram grips on mine are marked Ajax M-21, so I don't know if Ben Shostle ordered them for the engraving he did on commission, or someone added later, but they are solid, extremely well fitting (looks like hand work...no gaps anywhere).
