Sawed-Off | Lunar Wyrm (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Lunar Wyrm is a Mil-Spec Grade Gunsmith finish built around a coiled serpent painted over a crimson base. In Factory New the gold and cream of the serpent, the pale moon disc behind it and the small star marks on the red field all stay crisp. This is the grade where the receiver artwork reads exactly as it was drawn.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver carries the main artwork: a red and gold serpent coiled around a pale moon disc on a warm gold and crimson field with small star marks. The ribbed pump is painted crimson with pale cream wave-like shapes across its grooves, while the barrel and the tube below stay dark gunmetal with light engraved scroll lines. The stock and grip are reddish-brown and covered with pale engraved line ornament. On worn copies the paint goes first from the raised ribs of the pump, the muzzle edges and the edges of the receiver, then from the serpent and moon in the middle of the receiver.

All parts are clean: the pump ribs keep their crimson and cream paint, and the receiver artwork has no breaks. The serpent's gold lines and the pale moon look sharp in the inspect view. In game the red pump and gold receiver read as solid, even colour. The engraving on the barrel and stock stays clearly visible.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, red and cream stickers match the palette of the receiver and pump. Placing them on the barrel or near the stock keeps the serpent and moon on the receiver visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower values keep more of the serpent and moon intact.
• Look at the pump ribs and the receiver edges in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• On worn copies make sure the serpent in the centre of the receiver is still readable.
• Souvenir copies come with their own stickers, so check whether their placement covers the receiver artwork.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the serpent artwork without a single break.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base under gold and red stickers.
• The choice for those who value the artwork in its full state.
