Yours will will have the standard .260" wide hammer spur.
Just get one to match the finish on your trigger.
Be sure to get one like yours with the pin in the base for the forked hammer spring strut like your gun.
99.9% of the time, they are a drop in fit, but I always use the double action sear (i.e. hammer fly) from the original hammer. It's been fitted to your trigger. Just push out the pin and be careful not to lose the little spring behind it.
You can use the target hammer (it's not a medium target hammer, it's the the only one issued for the small J frames) with a spur that measures .365"-.370" in width. They came on the later Mod 36s and 60s with target sights and are a big improvement over the skinny spur hammer IMO.
On ebay, use this search title: "Smith vintage parts"
