CZ75-Auto | Honey Paisley (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The skin is recognisable by its gold paisley band along the top of the slide and the red body of the pistol. In Field-Tested the ornament still reads clearly, while the edges of the slide and magazine start to show bare metal. The finish begins to look used rather than pristine, which suits the vintage feel of the pattern.

Item type: pistol. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The sides of the slide, the frame and the long magazine are painted a deep wine red. A dense gold paisley ornament runs along the top of the slide and covers the frame around the trigger guard, giving the pistol a fabric-like look.

Grey metal shows along the slide edges, the magazine base and its front corners. The paisley starts to lose small fragments on the raised parts of the frame. At normal distance the red and gold scheme is still clear, and the centre of the slide ornament looks largely intact.

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower values keep the magazine and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the magazine base and corners in the inspect view, as they lose paint first.
• Make sure the gold paisley on top of the slide is intact if the ornament is the reason you are buying.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so check that they fit the red and gold scheme.
