Yep, it's just a cheap pocket pistol with engraving that actually appears to be typical for that period, so I suspect it's kind of a "Here's a little something from the Luftwaffe" type of gift. If it's authentic (which I actually think it is), I'd suspect that it was more or less mass produced, and not necessarily handed out by Goering himself either.
