★ Sport Gloves | Occult (Factory New)

Skin overview

★ Sport Gloves | Occult pairs crimson athletic fabric with a gold back panel covered in an engraved occult motif of interlaced serpent knots, eyes and glyph-like symbols. In Factory New the gold reads bright and the fine engraving stays crisp, so every line of the ornament is visible on the back of the hand. The pale yellow trim and cuff badge look fresh against the red.

Item type: gloves. Extraordinary is the gloves rarity: in cases they are the rare special item, above any weapon skin.

Appearance in Factory New

The main body of the gloves is crimson synthetic fabric with visible stitching along the seams. The back of each hand carries a large gold panel engraved with an occult ornament: interlaced serpent knots, eye symbols and small glyph-like figures running down to the fingers. Pale yellow trim outlines the panel, the finger edges and the cuff, and the cuff holds a red triangular badge framed in yellow. The palms are grey with darker padded sections and a light speckled texture. On worn copies the fingertips, knuckles and palm grip areas lose colour first, followed by the edges of the trim and the raised parts of the engraving.

The Factory New range on these gloves is very narrow, since the float range starts close to its upper edge. The crimson fabric is even in tone, the yellow trim is clean and the engraving on the gold panel is fully defined. In game the gloves look exactly as on the preview. Palms, fingertips and cuff badge are free of visible marks.
