No difference. CTG is the abbreviation for cartridge. A revolver marked 38 Special CTG, or .38 S&W Special CTG is simply indicating that it is chambered for a .38 Special cartridge. This IS different from .38 S&W, and older, shorter, fatter, less powerful cartridge.
The CTG. Stands for Cartridge.
S&W 38 SPCL (special) CTG (cartridge) is the name of the ammunition. It was designed by Smith and Wesson, but many firearms using this round have been manufactured by other companies, so you have not told us enough to identify your gun and determine its value.

Depends on how old the revolver is.
38 special is a full length 38 cartridge whereas a 38 S&W cartridge is also a 38 caliber but it has a shorter case.
