Sawed-Off | Parched (Factory New)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Parched is a Consumer Grade hydrographic finish for the terrorist-side shotgun: a dry, cracked-earth base in sand and tan with turquoise flowers painted over it. In Factory New the crack lines stay sharp and the flowers on the receiver keep their full teal colour. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as it was printed.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver and the upper barrel carry a cracked-earth pattern of sand and tan plates separated by dark purple-brown lines. Turquoise and teal flowers are concentrated on the receiver, with smaller touches spreading toward the barrel. The ribbed pump forend stays a dark, almost black grey, and the stock and grip are a deep purple with a reddish edge at the butt. On worn copies the paint goes first from the muzzle, the edges of the receiver, the trigger guard and the back of the stock, then thins over the flat surfaces.

No visible scratches: the crack lines are crisp and the flowers keep their full teal tone. The dark forend and purple stock look even and uninterrupted. In game at normal distance the receiver shows a clear contrast between the sandy base and the flowers. Everything on the model looks clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the top and bottom of one grade can look different on the receiver.
• Inspect the receiver flowers, as they are the brightest detail and fade noticeably on worn copies.
• Look at the muzzle, receiver edges and the back of the stock, which lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers and whether they suit the colour scheme.

• Collectors who want the pattern and flower colours exactly as printed.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean receiver as a base.
