It is a Triple Lock, but the grips are not original. The correct grips would be rounded off at the top, not extending up around the "knuckle".
This is correct. The grips on the gun are specifically post war diamond magnas. The correct grip type would be pre war "service" grips, which J-K described above. For your SN range, the grips should be large recessed medallion grips, like the ones on my MKII hand ejector below, which shipped in 1915. Your gun also shipped in the teens, but I believe the SN is too high for the N frame concave service grips to be a possibility.
