    It's a French Huet Porro II type binocular. Model was introduced for French military in 1930's and after German occupation continued to be produced for German use. If the paint is original which it appears to be, this one was made while under occupation.

        Huet

        It appears that the left sun shade is missing. Is the case canvas. Correct wartime German should be canvas

          Hard to give an accurate value without knowing its optical and mechanical condition and seeing its markings. Also need to be sure the case is original. These appear on eBay from time to time and they seem to go for anywhere from $200 - about $600 depending on condition, markings and how crazy the bidders are. Good condition, higher powers such as 12X, and Kriegsmarine markings (yours appears to be Diesnstglas) seem to draw higher bids. Here is one that is currently being auctioned:
