What I've read about them has been positive, as a durable, practical, sound gun.

Someone is selling a 16g specimen with 68 cm (26.77 inch) barrels; does this barrel length sound original? This is far away so I cannot inspect the gun. Thanks.
With kind regards, Jani

Jani: See if they will weight the tubeset and of course provide an image of the touchmarks.

For the ultimate book on FN pick up "Ars Mechanica" by Francotte and Gaier. It is a great book that explains the company history in depth. Some really rare photos as well. Fabrique Nationale Oct 15, 1888 - Albert Simmonis, p300 c200

Take the barrels off and look at the proof marks: http://damascus-barrels.com/Belgian_All_Proofmarks.htmlPete

I'm afraid the seller will do nothing of the kind. Not even a single picture... At $200 I should probably just buy it and think about particulars later!?
With kind regards, Jani

Yeah, for that you could weigh them and tell us how it pans out? Go ahead and dig up the fruit jar outback.
