The H&A Model 832 .32 rimfire caliber, rolling block action, was made starting around 1900 up to around 1914. In "GOOD" condition current retail value is in the $175 to $200 range, assuming it has a "loop" lever (closed). If your piece has the earlier "pig tail" (not closed loop) operating lever - the value will be approximately 25% higher.

Your best bet is periodicals from the time that deal with the outdoors

Prior to 1916. That is the year they closed. Not many records available- sorry.The Hopkins and Allen falling block rifles were made from 1887-1914,when they purchased the Baystate Arms Company.Ther most common model was the junior model also known after 1902 as the 922,925,and 932.These were the catalog numbers assigned by Hopkins an Allen.It can be said that your rifle,which falls into this group was made sometime between 1902-1914.i hope that you find this informative.
Books on falling block 22 rifles.
Your rifle may be earlier than 1934- I believe the Hopkins & Allen name had ceased around WW I. The Noiseless Model falling block 22 rifle is fairly scarce- the muzzle was threaded for a suppressor (silencer) hence the noiseless name. IF the rifle is still equipped with the suppressor, or if the barrel is less than 16 inches, and the gun is in the US, these fall under the National Firearms Act, and must have been registered with the BATFE. You will need the services of a firearms appraiser for this one- value will be sharply dependent on condition, but could be significant. Many thanks. FYI. I have since narrowed the timeframe of its manufacture to between 1902 and 1914. The silencer is still on the rifle. The overall length of the barrel is 19 inches with the silencer adding another 5 inches. Overall condition shows no rust and with the bluing being approx 90%. No other cracks or blemishes are apparent. Since I inherited this, is there a time limit on when I need the license or otherwise need to have it registered?
Impossible to answer without a detailed description of condition.
Depends on which model and condition, condition, and condition....
