The above chart is about how I judge it. One thing I can add is the most dominate gobblers have their wingtips rubbed down the most because they do the most strutting...as a general rule.

Weight plays into it as well, but spur length is the main way. That's not always accurate, but generally speaking that's the way to tell. A 1 year old bird NORMALLY won't have 1 1/2" spurs, where as a 3 year old bird would.
, but the spur are great for finger foods
