Black powder is much weaker than smokeless powder. Smokeless powder, for this reason, once invented(much after black powder), replaced black powder in guns. However, black powder is still used in fireworks because the extreme explosive power of smokeless powder would prove too dangerous in fireworks.

To even begin to give an accurate value I would need to know the condition, maker and model. If you don't know these you can compare yours to ones in the on line auctions, like gunbroker and auction arms. Look up black powder pistol or black powder revolver and compare photos to what you have, that should help identify and give you a value as well.
First, find a copy of the owner's manual for YOUR pistol. Second, use ONLY black powder, or a modern black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex. The ROUGH rule of thumb is one half the bore diameter in grains of powder. A .32 cal would use ABOUT 12-16 grains of powder.
