The 38 Super actually has a semi rimmed case. It can be fired in 357 Magnum revolvers however extraction can be an issue due to the small rim. I would not recommend it in revolvers chambered for 38 Special due to the much higher pressures of the Super. I'm not aware of any vintage S&W revolvers that were chambered specifically for the 38 Super.
