Yours is a modern MG3 tripod - they usually go for around $450 to $500 mark.
Check in with RTG (they are even cheaper there, when they have them) - http://www.robertrtg.com/mg3tripod.html

The wartime Lafettes are several thousand and can become very expensive depending on markings and condition - they are distinctly different to the later tripod.
The Yugo reworked German lafettes a little cheaper, but not much. As they are also now very desirable.

Find a wartime Lafette and want to sell for $1000 PM me - lol.
The MG3 is not for me, but try the MG42 boards.

Pit.
