Default Which Trojan Would You Keep

I recently acquired two shooter grade Trojans. One is a 20 gauge 0 frame with 26" barrels that have been cut, chokes are both open, barrels have light pitting inside. The other gun is a 12 gauge with 26" uncut barrels, choked mod/ full, bores have no pitting inside with minor freckling outside, 2 frame. If you had to pick one gun to keep, which would it be? Thanks for your opinion.

Lets see the 12 ga is in better overall condition, barrels are original length, I assume there are chokes in the 12ga barrels and the gun is more versatile as to the game you choose to hunt. The 20ga is in a more worn condition, with no chokes, and altered barrels. Monetary value I would expect to be similar do to the cut barrels on the 20. Let know if you keep the 20.

No question - keep the 12 for all the reasons stated.
