P250 | Wingshot (Factory New)

Skin overview

P250 | Wingshot is a hydrographic finish that pairs a muted teal-grey base with bright yellow swirls shaped like feathers and flames, a cream panel at the rear of the slide and a white skull on the grip. In Factory New the yellow is at its most saturated, and the cream section and fine speckling look fully intact. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as designed.

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

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is split in two: the front half is dark teal with feather-like strokes and fine yellow speckling around the muzzle, while the rear half is a cream panel with a row of thin yellow vertical stripes. Bright yellow swirls resembling feathers or flames sweep across the slide and continue onto the teal-grey frame and trigger guard area. The grip carries a white skull inside a dark circle, framed by yellow strokes, with yellow horizontal bars along the front of the grip. On worn copies the paint goes first on the slide edges, the muzzle and the top of the slide, then on the grip edges and the cream panel, where scratches stand out most against the light colour.

The finish is complete: the cream panel, the yellow stripes and the speckling near the muzzle are clean. The yellow swirls keep their full saturation and sharp edges. In game the pistol looks bright and crisp from any angle.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since the cream rear panel shows scratches earlier than the dark parts.
• Check the slide edges and the muzzle on the inspect screen, as these wear first.
• Make sure the skull on the grip is intact if it matters to you, especially on the more worn grades.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, which add nothing to the value for most buyers but change the look.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the yellow and cream parts without a single scratch.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a bright combination.
• Conclusion: the top grade for a flawless look of the artwork.
