Unaware of any published sn data
Open the barrels and look on the flat part of the watertable (the flat part of the frame where the barrels close up) or the bottom of the barrels for the serial number

That is not a Sweet Sixteen serial number.
It depends on who built the gun. If it was by Lindner it could be woth alot more than some other makers. Does the gun have Diamond Quaility Damascus engraved on the rib,does the gun have crossed pistols stamped on the bottom of barrels with maybe HAL under them. Do the barrels have a number stamped by the forarm lug under the barrels about one hundred higher than the serial number. If so and the gun is in exclent shape it may be worth many thousands of dollars
Old Charles Daly guns are very collectible. Go to the BBS at gunshop.com and post some pics and ask opinions. Could be worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
