That appears to be the No.6, Series II double action revolver. It probably is chambered for .32 S&W or .32 S&W Long. They were made from 1886 to 1907. While in general, H&A revolvers were considerably better and better made than many of their contemporaries, I recommend that gun not be fired with modern ammo. It won't "blow up", but if anything breaks, there are no parts available.
