Souvenir AK-47 | Fire Serpent (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | Fire Serpent is a Covert rifle finish built around a green serpent that coils along the receiver, with its fanged head facing the handguard. In Factory New the green body, gold ornaments and dark patterned magazine look crisp, with sharp line work throughout. This skin has a narrow Factory New band, so a fully clean copy is the hardest grade to find.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver carries the main artwork: a green serpent body with yellow and gold bands coiling along its length, ending in a fanged head with a red eye at the front near the handguard. Gold ornamental shapes sit towards the rear of the receiver, set against dark grey metal.

The paint is complete on the receiver and magazine, with no visible chips. The serpent's scales, gold bands and the fine swirls on the magazine stay sharp. At normal distance the green reads bright and saturated against the wood. Because the Factory New band is narrow for this skin, copies cluster close together in condition.

Factory New wear: float 0.06–0.07

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

Gold, green and red stickers match the serpent's palette and the red eye. Placements along the receiver above the serpent body keep the head near the handguard visible, while dark or holo stickers sit well against the grey metal sections.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the grade, since the serpent's outline and magazine change noticeably between low and high floats.
• Inspect the serpent's head near the handguard, as it is the focal point of the design.
• Check the front and bottom of the magazine, which lose paint first.
• Note any stickers, name tag and whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest version of the artwork.
• Sticker crafters who need the full serpent design as a base.
• The top choice when condition matters more than cost.
