Roughly 1930s. You may have a caliber .38 S&W, which is NOT a .38 Special.
What does 'special' mean in 38 special?
The .38 Special was a round brought to life by Smith & Wesson, hence the name 38 S&W Special. Eventually other companies like Colt got hacked off at having to mark THEIR weapons with "38 S&W Special" and came out with the .38 COLT Special- which was identical except for a flat tipped bullet. Eventually, everyone shortened the name to .38 Special- except S&W Company- who wanted to keep the name. 38 S&W Special and .38 Special are one and the same. 38 S&W (no special) IS a different round, and does not interchange. Make sense? so special refers to the round

Will 38 caliber SW ammo shoot in a 38 special revolver?
No. The .38 S&W is a different cartridge from the .38 Special. Basically, the .38 S&W is shorter, fatter, and has less energy. It will not chamber in a gun meant for .38 Special.
Can you shoot a 38 special round out of a 38 S and W?
They are two different calibers, the 38 special round being a later invention. The 38 special should not fit into the 38 S & W chamber. But as the 38 special was not anticipated at the time the 38 S&W was first made, it can have a chamber that does fit the 38 special. As the 38 special is a higher pressure round, and comes in even higher pressure plus P cartridges, it is a bad idea to try to fire these in a 38 S&W revolver. It can crack or burst the cylinder among other things.
