Souvenir AK-47 | First Class (Factory New)

Skin overview

AK-47 | First Class is a Restricted rifle finish in dark green leather wrap and plain grey metal. In Factory New the leather on the handguard and stock keeps an even tone and a visible fine grain, and the metal shows no scratches. It is a quiet, tidy version of the rifle.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. 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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard and the stock are wrapped in dark green leather with a fine grain texture. The receiver, top cover, gas tube and magazine are a plain gunmetal grey, and the barrel and front sight are dark.

The leather on the handguard and stock is uniform in colour, with no light patches. The receiver and magazine are clean grey with no scratches. In game the rifle looks crisp and even from any angle. Every part looks as on the clean preview.

Price by quality

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.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, cream, brown and dark green stickers suit the leather-and-metal look. Placements on the grey receiver stand out best, since the green panels can swallow darker stickers.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade look noticeably better.
• Look at the edges of the handguard leather and the stock heel, as these lighten first.
• Inspect the receiver and magazine for scratches on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, since they change the look of a plain finish a lot.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the leather and metal fully clean.
• Sticker crafters who need an even base for a restrained craft.
• Conclusion: the choice for a spotless, tidy AK-47.
