Looks like another typical police trade-in Model 64.
As caliber designation, for the .38 the official designation
is .38 Smith & Wesson Special; similarly, the official
designation for the .357 is Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum.
Then there's the .44 Remington Magnum or the .45
Automatic Colt Pistol or the .45 Colt.
It's a neat way of driving the competition nutty gone
cuckoo. When the S&W .38 Special was created,
Colt went to the trouble of creating its own designated
38 Special which in reality was just a copy of Smith's.
