I plan on purchasing my first Fox 12 gauge and I am down to a decision between a 1911 Pin Gun and a 1916 Late Style A grade. The Pin Gun is in better shape than the A grade. I have a few questions I am hoping to get some guidance on. 1) Which of the two is a more sought after gun? 2) My original thought, irregardless of which one I purchase, is to eventually have it restored. Is it better to buy one in better condition and leave it original or is it quite acceptable, or preferable, to have it restored?

I should add that I am buying to keep and use.

I am very new to the world of doubles and this is my first post. Thanks to all for sharing so much information!
