Mike - You have a .38 Safety Hammerless 3rd Model, manufactured from 1890 to 1898 (no model number - those didn't come along until 1957 or so). This general style of gun, with a safety built into the backstrap, is sometimes called a "lemon squeezer." The caliber is .38 S&W (not the same as .38 Special, which you know) and ammo is still available, as are reloading components - I have a .38 Terrier in that caliber that I reload for. Approximately 73,500 were manufactured. Yours appears to be in very nice condition, and if so, is likely worth a few times what you paid for it.
