Souvenir AK-47 | Baroque Purple (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This hydrographic skin relies on a dark base and a delicate ornament, so wear shows as lighter patches breaking through it. At Well-Worn the scuffs spread from the edges onto the handguard and the stock, and the pattern looks patchy in places. The overall dark silhouette of the rifle remains intact.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The hydrographic print covers the handguard, the receiver, the pistol grip and the stock with a dense, lace-like baroque ornament on a very dark base, where the purple of the name reads as a subdued, almost greyish tint. The barrel, gas tube, front sight and rear sight stay in plain dark metal.

Scuffing spreads from the edges onto the handguard sides and larger parts of the stock. The ornament looks broken up in patches, with lighter areas cutting through the dark base. In game the rifle reads as visibly used, though still dark overall. Recessed areas and the middle of flat panels keep the print best.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in purple, violet, silver or gold tones match the baroque theme and stand out against the dark base. Holo or foil stickers along the receiver side work well because the surrounding print is calm and fine-grained.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn looks noticeably cleaner on the edges.
• Inspect the receiver edges and the stock butt, as these lose the print first.
• Look at any applied stickers, because they change the look of this muted, dark finish more than usual.
• Check whether the copy has a name tag and whether it suits the understated style.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the dark baroque style for less.
• Players who rarely inspect their weapon and mostly see it in first person.
• An affordable entry into this skin.
