if you post the serial number there is some chance the gun is in the serialization book, and basic stats such as grade, gauge, barrel length, and stock configuration can be confirmed

the markings on the top barrel rib are helpful, as are any marking on the barrel flats, the watertable (flats on the action) and the sides of the lock's engraving if any.

if the number is not in the book - a good close up of the muzzle and the muzzle end of the top rib may help determine if the barrels are original length.

clear pictures of the whole gun and the wood help to determine condition
