Desert Eagle | Hand Cannon (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Hand Cannon covers the pistol in a teal-green patina that imitates aged brass, with a warmer yellow-brass tone at the muzzle end of the slide. In Factory New the acid-treated colouring stays even and unbroken, so the contrast between the green body and the black grip panels is at its sharpest. This is the grade for buyers who want the finish exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide and frame are covered in a teal-green patina with darker mottling and fine vertical streaks, imitating oxidised brass. Toward the muzzle the slide shifts into a yellow-brass tone with dark drips running down from the top. The trigger guard, trigger and lower frame carry the same green patina, while the grip panels stay black with a textured surface. On worn copies the finish breaks first on the slide edges, the muzzle face, the top of the slide and the front of the trigger guard, where the patina gives way to bare metal.

The patina is complete across the slide, frame and trigger guard, with no bare metal showing. The brass-yellow front end and the dark streaks keep their full contrast. In game the green reads rich and even at any distance. Every part of the pistol looks clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the slide edges and muzzle show the difference first.
• Look closely at the brass-yellow muzzle end, as it is the first area to lose its colour on worn copies.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure they suit you.
• Review any stickers or name tag on the listing, as they change both the look and the value for other buyers.
