Look it over. The russians I've hatched out are about 1.5" long at hatching, and the one I kept reached about 3" at one year old. The shells won't be battered and chipped or show signs of wear.

Make sure the eyes are clear, the nose is clean, and that the nails and scales on the legs are intact (4 claws on each foot!). And if possible, see if the tort will eat something. This isn't always possible because of the trauma the tortoise has experienced from being moved, but if it eats that is a very good sign.

good luck and let us know what you do!
