Sa dress bayonet ???

The etched motto on the bayonet, Ehre Kraft Freiheit, indicates this item was for the school at Feldafing, an NS political school. These bayonets are scarce, in & of themselves. Most are Eickhorn marked ('35-'41) although some have been seen marked by Henckels. They have also been faked.
The SA roundel may be a postwar add on, maybe not. How is it attached to the grip, pinned, glued or jammed into place?
If there is any slight movement to it, it's possible it is period but my suspicion is it has been added on after the NS period, to make it more desirable. If so, that would suck because it would mean someone ruined an otherwise beautiful bayonet.

I tried to have a close up of the rivets,but it is not clear enough,maybe in the day light.

Something else that could be taken care of in daylight is a (very) closeup examination of the inscription itself. While I can't be 100% sure with the images at hand, from what I can see the inscription does seem to have some signs of resemblance to the postwar modified "Hühnlein - NSKK High Leader" daggers. Said "Hühnlein" daggers having in addition to the amateurish chain sets etc. rotary engraved blades, as some other acknowledged fakes have exhibited. FP

The question here is if the SA emblem has been added or not.
