S&W Model 36 Airweight

This may be somewhat off point, but I was an OSI agent from 1967 to 1971 and we carried what was called at the time an "OSI Special." It was S&W, .38 cal., 5-shot revolver with a 2" barrel. Does anyone know what that was?

Mod 36 or 37? I have two M37 Airweights. Love 'em.

Probably a slang term for a M-36 Chief Special. Do you know if the frame was steel or light alloy?
