My Grandfather's engravings

[A-Shostle-tree-Apple]

Hello My name is Dani. I am currently searching for a gun/knife that was engraved by my grandfather, Ben Shostle. He was an awesome engraver and has made many pieces before he went blind and then passed away in 2006. If anyone knows where I could find one or knows someone who is selling one please let me know. Thank you

Hi 'ASTA', welcome to the Lounge. A quick Google search under 'Ben Shostle' showed not only some fine examples, but several sites with pieces for sale. Very nice work indeed! Good Luck. Make sure you post any that you obtain for all us Loungers to see! Kind Regards, -dixon cannon

I can't help you with the knife...but..I have many firearms engraved by your Grandfather..and visited his shop(more like a jewelery store) in Muncie many times(I live close by). I considered him a good friend ...and great engraver. I do hope that you find what you are looking for.

That is extraordinary work! Wish I could have taken my Dan Wesson over there and got it engraved!

Dani, your Grandfather was an excellant engraver. I own a few pistols and a Winchester model 61 pump rifle he engraved (rifle is pictured in one of his brochure's). One of the pistols I own has scrimshaw etched pearl handles, initials BB below the scrimshaw. I think you know who this work was done by. Ben's work is getting harder to find and more expensive. I recently ran across a knife he had engraved on an internet auction, but unfortunately I was outbid. Keep watching the internet and you will find his work for sale. Good luck.

We just acquired another Shostle engraved firearm. We have a Smith and Wesson model 29-2 44 magnum complete with presentation case, original tool set, and factory paperwork. Also still have the Winchester Model 94 30-30. Although we are featuring these in an up coming auction, they are still for sale in store. If interested, please stop in, take a look, and make us an offer. Thanks!!!
