Either the left or the right or both, depending on how it was made.
It is a very large bore shotgun that with solid shells was also used as an elephant gun. It was also used to shoot geese at a long range.
Depends on the condition.

Depends on condition, make, model. I think you mean 12gauge, not 12 bore. Some have a good resale value if it has exposed hammers, the condition of the bore. General value $100.00 They can run 1$00 for old junk to $100,000 for English high grade engraved case works of art.
It depends on what you mean by "a little bit." If you mean that there are a few tiny bits of lint visible in the bore, as in small fibers clinging to the bore wall, then yes, it's safe to fire. If you mean that there's a "little bit" the size of a mouse, then no, do NOT fire it.Either way, wisdom falls on the side of safety, and I'd recommend that you clean the bore before firing the shotgun. ANY obstruction in the bore is a potential problem.
I purchased one, used, good-ex. condition $850.00
To determine the exact value of a 1895 Sterling 410 side by side shotgun, a number of factors would need to be considered. Most importantly, the condition of the shotgun.
there is a small button on the side that opens it up
Not every gun is made the same way but most are silver soldered to a center rail. I have never seen barrels that are truly "welded". I think it would cause too much heat and distortion on the bore.
I bought a ij 58 to day for 500$ in very very good condition
Animo is (was) a shotgun manufacturer in Eibar Spain. Most likely your shotgun is a side by side model.
It has two barrels, side by side. Most call it a double barrel.
