Didn't John Jovino have a run of square butt Model 60s in both 2- and 3-inch?

I know the square butt Model 36 was a favorite of NYPD plainclothes officers.

For those who came in late, John Jovino was the famous gun store in Manhattan that used to get the police business. I understand it finally closed a few months ago. The store opened in 1911, which is easy to remember because of the Colt 1911. The Imperato family (the family that owns Henry Repeating Arms) owned the store since the 1920s.

Jovino got S&W to make some special runs for them, and they also bought up a bunch of Model 25s back in the 70s or 80s and made a nifty N-frame .45 Colt snub nose called the "Effector" if I recall correctly.
