The person may just be miss-reading it.
You just need a photo of the side of the gun for a view of the cyl, not the yoke (crane is a Colt term) to determine if it's 38 Spl or 38 S&W. That's the only foolproof ID of which cartridge it's chambered for.
Anything else can be miss-interpreted or miss-marked. A miss-marked gun has no additional collector value.
