Five-SeveN | Buddy (Factory New)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Buddy is a Counter-Terrorist custom paint job with a tan and ochre camo slide over a slate-blue frame trimmed with yellow pinstripes. In Factory New every element stays crisp: the white number badge, the small yellow emblems and the fine outlines along the frame and grip. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as drawn.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is covered in a brushed tan, brown and ochre camo that wraps over the top and around the cutouts, with a white circular badge carrying the number near the rear sight. The frame and trigger guard are painted in a slate-blue camo with darker patches, accented by thin yellow pinstripes that follow the contours of the frame and the accessory rail. Small yellow emblems sit on the frame above the trigger and on the side of the grip, which carries a dark textured panel framed by a yellow outline. On worn copies the slide edges, the muzzle end and the top of the slide lose paint first, followed by the yellow pinstripes on the rail and grip edges.

The slide camo, the white number badge and all yellow pinstripes are intact. The emblems on the frame and grip have sharp edges. In game the contrast between the warm slide and the cool frame is at its strongest. Nothing on the weapon shows scratches.

Gold, yellow and tan stickers continue the trim and slide colours, while muted blue or grey ones blend into the frame. Military and CT-themed designs suit the service-style markings, and a single sticker on the frame keeps the pinstripe layout readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the grade, since the slide edges and muzzle show wear first.
• Look at the yellow pinstripes on the rail and grip, as they reveal wear earlier than the camo.
• Make sure the number badge and emblems are intact if you want a clean look.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, because they change how the slide and frame read.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want every pinstripe and emblem intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or yellow accents.
• Conclusion: the choice for the full, unworn artwork.
