I'm thinking of buying this black wound badge but couldn't be sure if its real or fake. I know there are quite a lot of different L14 or L/14 variations out there. So I just need your help about it.

Its a good one, made in buntmetall (zinc) hence the oxidisation on the rear.
Indeed, a good one. However, the "pest" corrosion on the back gives me some concern. I don't recommend cleaning medals but something should be done to arrest that corrosion. I'm not sure how (or if) it should be treated. NH
Thanks for the responses gentleman! I'll go ahead and get it.Course I'll take care of the corrosion too (Even though I don't know how). Best regards

The oxidation is caused by the excessive amount of flux used in the soldering process.
I recommend you brush off as much loose zinc pest as possible with a clean tooth brush and cover the whole badge with a coating of Vaseline.
Leave it on for 24 hours, and then remove as much as possible.

Thank you all again for sharing your experience and knowledge with me. I'm happy to hear that this badge is an original one. Oh and I will take care of that oxidation problem as you said. Best regards
