Hello, does anyone have pictures of males or a way to be sure .a bird is a male, i have two females and can buy a male, but the guy who wants to sell the bird isn't sure about the sex after sexing. Does anyone perhaps have a breeding experience?

I'm not a expert but I thought the only sexual dimorphic trait in these geese is that the Ganders are a tad bit larger than the females.
 
According to Peter Fulligar in Ducks, Geese, and Swans (2005), edited by Janet Kear, males are 30% larger and the knob is larger.

Male :elongated trachea palpable under the skin of the breast, usually on the left side. Female: the tracheal loop is absent
