Model 64-1 Oklahoma Highway Patrol

I picked up a 64-1 today. Serial D673350. I am pretty certain it is one of the OHP guns mentioned in the SCSW. Can anyone confirm this is the serial number range and expand on the history? Unfortunately, the stocks number to a gun made in 1975. Also, the trigger is a target trigger. Does anyone know if any of the other 64-1's came from the factory with a target trigger.
And yes, I will post pics this evening.
Thanks in advance,
Hank

Yes, a nice gun you have posted and no need to be sorry.
I'm asking a question...were all of the 64-1 marked guns OHP guns? The other 64-1 guns that I have seen have no markings other than the model number. Was the 64-1 offered outside of the OHP?
Please correct me if I am wrong, I thought S&W completed an order of the 64-1 with no markings in .357 for the OHP and a couple years later completed another run of the 64-1 and called it the OHP commemorative. Colt saa, is your gun one of the original run or the commemorative if there was one.
