Your PPK is prewar production and is a commercial model which was sold for civilian use and not issued to any military or police organization. However, it may have been carried by a military officer, as they often purchased their small pistols on the civilian market. The holster is a scarce shoulder type also made for civilian sales. The "DRGM" is a patent marking, and the crossed rifles are the manufacturer's logo. The pistol appears to be in nice condition and is worth about $450 plus an additional $150 for the holster, so the complete outfit is valued at around $600 give or take.
