Description

Please note this is NOT the 38 S&W Special cartridge.

One Cartridge. 38 Smith & Wesson, a/k/a 38 S&W by the very old U.M.C.C. ( Union Metallic Cartridge Company). “U.M.C. .38 S&W” Head-Stamp, loaded with Black Powder andĀ  Lead Projectile.Ā  Beveled RimĀ  which is long obsolete.

History of theĀ  cartridge:

The .38 Smith & Wesson, a/k/a/ 38 S&W was developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877 for the Smith &Wesson hinged-frame revolver,Ā  later usedĀ  by Great Britain and other countries for their military and police forces (also known as the 38 Colt New Police for itsĀ  use in ColtĀ  pistols for many police forces).

Though similar in name, it is NOT interchangeable with the later and far more popular .38 Smith& Wesson SpecialĀ  (38 Special ) due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter.
