Default M1906 Russian Luger - What to look for???

Regardless of what anyone else wants to call it...Exactly what should a prospective buyer look for??? I will be looking for one (as, I'm sure, are others)...

So far, I've got the crossed rifles on the chamber hood and Cyrillic characters on the extractor and safety...

Grip safety; no stock lug...Strawed trigger/safety/mag button/takedown lever..."Long" [reverse?] thumb safety...

Tula Arsenal proof??? I can't quite make it out...looks like a triangle with a slash in it??? On barrel only???

DWM toggle only???

Is there a distinctive set of grips??? Would the grips be marked with Cyrillic characters???

Any other odd or different features???

Thank you for any help!!!

If anyone knows any obvious fake characteristics (like being build on a later grip frame), I'd appreciate the information...

(And yes, I am using Search...Here and at Jan Still's site...Lots of contradictory information...)
