The "triangle" with a slash that you refer to is incorrectly identified as a Tula arsenal proof. It is actually a shield shape with a slash in it and is a DWM barrel "proof" (inspector's mark) found on several variations of Lugers. The grips should be serial numbered to the gun (last two digits) and do not have Cyrillic characters. DWM toggle only. There may be a DWM inspector's "flaming bomb" mark in the front frame well and a very tiny "3" in the rear frame well that could be a Cyrillic character that looks like a 3.
