What is the value of a 16 gauge Charles Daly side by side shotgun serial 2996 with Damascus barrels and rabbit-ear hammers?

Much depends on maker and grade of your gun. The rib of your gun should haveing writing to the effect of FINE Extra Fine Diamond ect. Give us the proof marks and symbols found under the barrels and on the action flats.

You can find these when you remove the barrels. Small guage will bring exta money no matter the grade. Condition is also very importand,does the action still show any case color,is the stock sound with strong checkering ect.

A low grade in 90% shape will bring more than a top grade at 10%.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
