PP-Bizon | Antique (Factory New)

Skin overview

PP-Bizon | Antique dresses the SMG as an old engraved firearm: dark aged steel, gold scrollwork and wood-grain panels on the drum magazine and grip. In Factory New the gold lines are crisp and the reddish wood grain on the magazine stays smooth and even. The patina on the metal is part of the design, so even a pristine copy looks deliberately old.

Item type: smg. 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.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver and handguard are painted as dark, weathered gunmetal with gold engraved scrollwork, gold outlines around the vent cutouts and an ornamental medallion near the front. The helical drum magazine imitates reddish-orange wood grain, finished with a decorative gold band and a gold cap on its front face. The pistol grip carries the same wood texture with gold ornament, while the folding stock stays dark metal with a gold-toned butt plate. On worn copies the edges of the drum, the muzzle, the top of the receiver and the stock rods lose paint first, and the thin gold decals fade before the wood grain does.

Every element is intact: the gold scrollwork has sharp edges and the wood grain on the drum and grip is uniform. The dark mottled look of the receiver is painted on and is not damage. In game the skin reads as a rich mix of warm orange and gold against dark steel. Nothing on the weapon shows scratches.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the chosen wear, since lower floats keep more of the thin gold inlay.
• Inspect the edges of the drum magazine, as they lose paint before the rest of the weapon.
• Look at the gold scrollwork on the receiver and handguard to judge how much decoration is left.
• Note any stickers or name tag, and confirm whether you are buying a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the gold ornament complete and sharp.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or holo stickers.
• Conclusion: the best choice if the engraved detail matters most to you.
