Welcome to the Forum DeltaForce.
I cover these Baden Police bayonets in my book, "Seitengewehr: History of the German Bayonet 1919-1945". As a matter of fact there is one shown on the cover.
They came in both white and gold metal colors and in a large size that was an item of issue and a smaller size that was for private purchase. The smaller (lighter weight) Extra-Seitengewehr version is the same size as the long model Prussian Police clamshell bayonets. These are quite hard to find in any condition but Billy is right that the broken grip will hurt value but it looks nice from the obverse side.
