Your weapon would take the 38 special.

Be careful with the older Colt Double Action Revolvers. If the barrel indicates 38 "Special" - only then would it take that cartridge. Typically if the barrel states 38 New Police the revolver with take the 38 S&W ammunition, either short or long depending on the length of the cylinder (Colt could not bring themselves to roll stamp S&W on their revolvers. When the barrel shows just "38" this would indicate the 38 Colt Round, either short or long - again depending on the length of the cylinder.
