gpg --list-sigs keyid

or if there are a lot of sigs by keys not in your keyring,

gpg --check-sigs keyid 

The top line will indicate [revoked].

Or, if you edit the key, the trust level will be indicated with R at the end.
trust: n/r

Try with:
0x2801834D

It's a revoked key on the keyservers that once belonged to a friend of mine.

0x738FECB0 hasn't been exported as revoked yet, I can't check using that.
