Souvenir AK-47 | The Oligarch (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the clean jacket into a heavily worn one: the white areas are greyed and chipped, and the gold is worn through on many edges. The contrast of light panels and dark stripes still marks the skin as The Oligarch. It is the most affordable way to carry this Covert design.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, gas tube, front sight and receiver are finished in metallic gold, with the upper handguard carrying dark ribbed lines. The lower handguard, stock and magazine are wrapped in white panels with black and grey quilted stripes that imitate the stitching of a puffer jacket.

The white panels are heavily chipped and greyed, especially on the magazine, stock and grip. The gold is worn through on many edges and raised parts of the receiver and barrel. In game the skin reads as a battered rifle, with the light-and-dark stripe contrast still visible. Only the recessed areas keep their original look.

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, holo and foil stickers echo the metallic parts, while black-and-white or monochrome stickers match the quilted panels. Placing stickers on the white handguard and receiver area keeps the composition balanced.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the white panels show the difference between low and high floats clearly.
• Inspect the magazine bottom and stock corners, as these parts lose their white first.
• Look at the gold on the receiver edges to see how much of the shine is left.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, and whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.
