what size ammo does a 32 owlhead use

.32 Short Colt centerfire I have used the 80 grain.

I read that the owlhead Iver Johnson 38 was popular around 1940 and was a gift from a grocery store if you paid your bill with cash. I bought one at pawn shop for one forty. "execellent condition"PS use black powder ammo.

The Crown with assorted letters is a Proof Mark. This system was used in Europe to show that a firearm had been inspected and test fired in the government proof house. Unfortunately several nations used a crown. The balance of the description is not enough information to give you an accurate ansswer. Your best bet will likely be to take this to a gun show or gun shop for an evaluation by them.
