We need a serial number to date the gun. Value will vary depending on condition. We would need pics, and detailed description of what 'fixes' were made. As for H&R, I am a total fan and collector of H&R guns. I use them for target and hunting. I'm not gonna even bother counting the number of H&R/NEF shotguns and rifles I have - I can tell you that you'd need both hands and a foot or two to count them.
I also have a 999 Sportsman with a 'B' in its serial number, which would make it a 1941 production gun. I bought it for $299 at Gandermountain last December with it's original box, manual, and wax paper wrapper. That's a really nice revolver and a really nice find.
I found a picture of a revolver similiar to the one Dad has. It's not a top break like that nice pistol you have in your pictures. It's a nine-shot revolver with a side gate to load the shells. The empty shells are removed via a spring-loaded extractor.
I believe I had the wrong model number as the picture identifies it as a '949.' I can't provide a serial number right now as the gun is with my Dad who lives in NE PA and I'm in Philadelphia. I was thinking about getting a S&W 617.22 revolver or a Model 17, if I can find one, as Smith no longer manufactures it. H&R Sportsman revolvers are FAR from SNS - they were/and still are, in all their incarnations and variations one of the top rim fire revolvers of all time. The series was in production from circa 1932 up through the demise of the original H&R Arms Co. 1986 and then several years later, production resumed - up thru 1999 and only ceased when Marlin purchased the rights and manufacturing of all NEF and H&R 1871 LLC firearms.
During the entire period of production the Sportsman was at the top price point for H&R revolvers and often in the same range as S&W pieces. I own a few dozen Sportsman revolvers, that span the entire production era, including all the various models and variations and derivatives of the Sportsman series. To properly date your piece - as stated before - we will need the serial number.
There may or may not be a single or double letter prefix to the serial number - that will also be needed. Murray Bicycle Serial Numbers on this page. A brief description of the type of grip(s), single action or double/single action, what and where stampings on left and right sides of the barrel and left side of the receiver - all these things will help determine which model and variation you have. Current values of Sportsman revolvers will range from about $100 for a parts gun missing a couple parts - up to well over $800 for a rare Model 196 Eureka.
Average condition pieces will value at retail between $275 and $325, while top condition pieces will sell up to and over $400 (what Knight has - very nice piece). Looking forward to hearing back to determine what you have. Below is a pic of two very early 1933 era Model 1 Var 2 & 3 Sportsman and some later pieces for comparison.

I have a 1957 Sportsman breaktop and a NEF R92 ( roughly late '70's), and love them. I'd like to get one of their SAA clones yet. Maybe someday.
