looks to be a 32 caliber , ammo cost more than the gun is worth

It is a 38 s&w round, not 38 special. That is if you stuck a 38 special in it and it fit, but was too long. Before the 38 special came around the 38 3&8 was a popular caliber. I collect old H&R pistols and would be interested in buying it, but as stated above they are obsolete and not worth much.

if this is a .38 s&w, I have some old, old ammo that will work in it. Let me know what you want for it.

I too collect H&Rs, but mostly .22s. I do have a model 925 in .38S&W, some call it 38 short. Ammo is high and hard to find. It is not a high powered round so if you find some and want to shoot it you would probably be OK, Best to have a reliable smith check it out first though. H&R did make some nice breaktops though, I buy every one I can find for $300.00 or less. I wish they still made the model 999 Sportsman, gues it just got too expensive to make .

what would you pay for this one

It looks like a close copy of a smith&wesson.
