The H and R revolvers, produced by Harrington & Richardson, include several models, with the most notable being the H&R Model 922, a .22 caliber revolver, and the H&R Model 929, a .22 caliber double-action revolver. Other models include the H&R Model 676 and Model 738, which are chambered in .38 Special and .357 Magnum, respectively. These revolvers are known for their reliability and affordability, making them popular choices for both target shooting and personal defense. H&R revolvers were manufactured from the early 20th century until the company ceased operations in the mid-1980s.

Value of any gun is based on make, model, and condition. There were dozens of different models of the H&R top break revolvers in .38 S&W- could be $50 or $250.
MOST H&R revolvers have a value between $50-150, depending on exact model and condition. I do not have an 1898 listed in my references. Note of caution- very early H&R revolvers were made for low pressure black powder cartridges, and may not be safe to fire with modern ammo. If you think you have a very early H&R, please have it examined by a good pistolsmith before attempting to shoot it. Come to think of it, that is probably good advice for ANY older firearm, not just H&Rs.

Revolvers are not intended to be taken apart by the users. There are no manuals for many older revolvers. A lot of these have been brought to a gunsmith in a bag to be re-assembled. Don't. Seriously- don't.
