Glock-18 | Franklin (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Franklin covers the whole pistol in a hydrographic collage of American hundred-dollar bills, with Franklin portraits scattered across the slide, frame and grip. In Factory New the print is at its sharpest: fine engraving lines, serial numbers and the green seals on the notes stay crisp. This is the grade for buyers who want the banknote pattern to read cleanly up close.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the 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 and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Factory New

The slide, frame, trigger guard and grip are all covered in one continuous collage of hundred-dollar bills laid at different angles. Franklin portraits in dark grey stand out against cream and pale grey-green paper, with small green seals and fine engraving adding detail. The grip carries a large portrait, and the texture of the note borders blends into the grip pattern, while the muzzle and barrel end stay dark metal. On worn copies the print goes first from the sharp edges of the slide, the front of the slide around the muzzle, and the protruding corners of the grip and trigger guard.

The hydrographic print is intact on every part of the pistol. Edges of the slide and the trigger guard keep the full banknote detail. In game the portraits and fine engraving lines read sharply in the first-person view. Nothing on the surface looks rubbed or faded.

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end show fewer scuffs on the slide edges.
• Check the front of the slide and the muzzle area, as this is where the print rubs off first.
• On Souvenir copies, see how the applied stickers sit on the busy banknote pattern.
• Check stickers and name tag for added value or for anything that clashes with the money theme.
