The Viking 67-S 32 caliber SW 5 shot top break down is a vintage handgun that may have some historical significance as a collectible firearm. Its value would depend on factors such as its condition, rarity, and any unique features it may have. It may not be considered a special handgun in the context of modern firearms technology or performance.
All Smith and Wesson model 686 revolvers were made as double action handguns by Smith and Wesson.
I think you have a Harrington and Richardson 925 in .38S&W. It is a top break revolver. KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHILE YOU DO THIS. In a top break revolver, the frame is hinged at the bottom front of the cylinder. Releasing the lock, (should be at the top of the frame - might require some backward pulling to engage) and pushing the barrel down brings the cylinder up. This will exposes the rear of the cylinder. For most top break revolvers, the act of pivoting the barrel and cylinder operates an extractor that pushes the cartridges in the chambers back far enough that they will fall free, or can be removed If you can't get it to work, leave it alone and find a qualified gun smith.

Condition is more important than serial number. That being said the earlier and better condition will be worth more.
