The non-checkered border is found on Swiss Lugers when they began production around 1918 when guns were no longer available from Germany. These Swiss grips would be inletted for a grip safety. There are after-market grips of this pattern made for non-grip safety Lugers and this is what is on your gun. The nicest quality grips of this type (non-grip safety) that I have seen were made in Italy. The gun you are looking at is worth $600-700 tops as a shooter if in nice, functional condtion. For $1000 run away.
