Looks like a model 62 and serial would put it at 1948. I don't have info on a model 64a but a model 64 is actually a lever action center fire.
There were 62 and 62a produced from 1932-1958 that were a visible hammer slide action that are a more modern version of the 1890 with a 23" barrel. the "A" version was introduced in 1940.

You are correct, 64 was a typo
