Is it blued, or stainless?

Well 5 different blue models were made. If it is the RB-32W with Engraved cyl and drift-adj-for-windage-only rear sight; it's a RARE collectable model in like new condition with the box or almost new, it's worth some money. With wear, price goes down.
A distributor exclusive of recent production .32 Bisley is currently available in a limited # but they have the fully adj rear sight.
And also a single seven 327 Fed Mag with adj sights:
New Model Bisley Blue Single-Six® : Single-Seven™
Model 08164
327 Fed Mag - Single-Action Revolver
Available from Lipsey's

Well, most Ruger revolvers I see are in the 500 to 600 range. If it were mine, I'd try to sell it for $600 to $650.

Long as we are at it, I also have a couple I should get a estimate on. I am old and not the best health, wife much younger. So I can give her a approximate value.
All three are almost new shape. Top .22 single six about 1958, bottom a almost new shape .32 H&R mag. Any estimates? The last one, a Lipsey special I bought new about three years ago with just about a box through it in .44 special. Thanks!

The easiest way to price a gun that is not custom or rare is to look for comparable sales. Go on gunbroker.com or another auction site, search in sold auctions, and find similar guns (in terms of both model and condition) that have sold recently. This will give you a reasonable starting estimate on most items.
Incidentally, this is more or less exactly how your insurance company determines the value of anything you have insured.

I was trying to give you and the other fellow a hint, apparently you would prefer to have things done for you.
RB-32W is uncommon, but not rare. I have seen a number of them for sale on GunBroker in the past year, including this one that I can still find through GunBroker's COMPLETED AUCTION SEARCH:
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/761094700
That revolver has about 8 past auctions on GB, none of which has met the seller's reserve. The highest bid so far has been 595$, with no bids on listings at 625$ or 650$. So I'd put the value of a RB-32W, in excellent condition with box and paperwork, at 550-600$. The actual sale amount, of course, will depend on the marketplace, since this model is not in particularly high demand.
Two thoughts:
1) Saying an item is rare don't make it so.
2) You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
