Souvenir AUG | Lapis Lazuli (Factory New)

Skin overview

AUG | Lapis Lazuli pairs a white receiver and scope with a deep blue body covered in a white tile ornament and small gold accents. In Factory New the white parts stay bright and even, and the thin gold details keep their full shine. This is the grade where the porcelain-like contrast of the finish is at its sharpest.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, carry handle rail and scope housing are painted a light cream-white, with copper-gold trim on the charging handle, muzzle and scope rings. The barrel and scope lens cap are a solid blue, matching the main body.

The finish is complete on every part: the white receiver and magazine are clean, the blue tiles are saturated, and the gold trim is bright. Any marks, if present at the upper end of the grade, are microscopic and sit on edges. In game the rifle looks exactly like the preview. Nothing on the weapon reads as worn.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir AUG | Lapis Lazuli is 0–1; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (7% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What it costs in each quality

By price this skin is 5th of 6 skins Restricted AUG in this quality (the first being 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

Blue, white and gold stickers blend naturally with the tiled ornament, and holographic or gold variants echo the metallic trim. Placing stickers on the white receiver keeps them readable against a calm background, while busy multicoloured designs tend to clash with the dense pattern on the stock.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since the white receiver and magazine show wear more readily than the blue parts.
• Inspect the edges of the stock, the foregrip and the magazine ribs, which lose paint first on this finish.
• Look at the gold trim on the charging handle and muzzle, as its condition affects how rich the skin looks.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so judge whether they fit the blue-and-white artwork.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the bright white parts and gold trim in their cleanest state.
• Sticker crafters who need a spotless white receiver as a base.
• The choice for buyers who value the full porcelain contrast above everything else.
