Thank you Mike! You saved me the trouble of resurrecting the image. Marc is correct that the unrelieved frame is only a feature of the very early production Swiss Lugers and are probably only found on pieces serial numbered under 700 (I don't recall seeing any beyond that range). Unrelieved frame examples are very rare as most were reworked to relieve the frame to accept the later raised button magazine.
