Post 1972 detective specials are rated for 3,000 rounds of +p ammunition but Colt recommends that after 3,000 rounds they be sent back to Colt for inspection.
Yes, you can shoot 38 specials through a .357 magnum revolver.
The .38 Special can fire .38 Special, or .38 Long Colt. It cannot fire the .38 S&W, which is fatter and shorter.

Shouldn't have any problems with revolvers, single shot firearms, and lever action rifles. However, a semi auto chambered in .357 (such as the Desert Eagle or Coonan Arms pistols) won't be able to run .38 Special.
There are different models that take Colt .38 specials. Go to proofhouse.com to find your model.
.38 Special. It can also fire .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt. Do not attempt to fire .38 S&W from a .38 Special.
Made in Germany after WW II. The .38 Specials seem to date from the mid 50s up to the 1960's. The 1968 Gun Control Act may have banned importation of some of these. Relatively low values, typically $100-$150.
if you allude to 38 S&W cartridge then you will find the case is shorter then a 38 Spl. case. You can fire a 38 S&W cartridge in a 38 Special but you can't fire a 38 Special in a pistol designed for the 38 S&W cartridge.
No, you cannot.
