Souvenir AK-47 | First Class (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

AK-47 | First Class reads mostly through its two colours: deep green leather and grey metal. In Field-Tested the leather edges start to lighten and the receiver picks up small scuffs, which gives the rifle a used, lived-in feel. The green panels still read clearly at normal distance.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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 edges on the handguard and stock lighten visibly and the corners look rubbed. Scuffs appear on the receiver, the top cover and the bottom of the magazine. In game the rifle reads as used but tidy, with the green still dominant. The central parts of the leather panels mostly keep their colour.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir AK-47 | First Class is 0–1; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (23% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Baggage Collection with 15 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

What it costs in each quality

Among 9 skins of the AK-47 in the Restricted grade and this quality, this skin ranks 2nd by price, counting from the dearest.

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, 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 check before buying

• 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 the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like a used, lived-in leather look.
• Buyers who want the finish to read well in game at a moderate cost.
• Conclusion: a practical everyday grade.
