Best Answer

You gun takes the .38 Special. Its original (and proper) name was ".38 Smith & Wesson Special" since Smith & Wesson introduced the first gun chambered for this cartridge, which differentiated it from the earlier ".38 Smith & Wesson". The .38 S&W Special will not interhange with the .38 S&W.

What is the exact type of ammo for a particular firearm?

Question is too broad to answer. In general, use ammunition that is the same as the caliber or gauge marked on the firearm. If it is marked .38 Special, use only .38 Special- NOT .38 S&W, NOT .380. NOT .38 Super.

What is the age and value of Smith and Wesson 38 Special CTG?

Smith & Wesson has made dozens of different revolvers chambered for the S&W.38 Special cartridge. In addition, there are hundreds of different revolvers that were not made by Smith & Weson but are marked with the exact wording from your question because they use the same ammunition. So your firearm could be: a) A cheap Saturday night special worth more as a boat anchor than as a gun. b) A custom-made one-of-a-kind worth several thousand dollars. or c) Somewhere between these extremes.

How can you determine the caliber of an Iver Johnson hand gun serial 10922?

The easiest way is to see what ammunition will chamber in it - there aren't many choices. If it is .22, it will be either .22 short or .22 Long Rifle. It may be a .32 short or .32 Long. If it is .38, it must be .38 Smith & Wesson (NOT .38 Special). If it isn't marked, it's likely a .22 something.
