Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | Dragon Lore is a Covert custom paint job: a knotwork dragon on pale gold panels, with an orange and black diamond pattern running down the barrel. In Factory New the knotwork lines are sharp and the warm gradient on the barrel stays unbroken. This is the condition where the artwork reads as it was drawn, without grey patches anywhere.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The barrel is covered with a diamond pattern that runs from dark olive near the receiver to bright orange and black toward the muzzle. The receiver and the front of the stock carry a red-orange dragon on a pale gold background, and the rear of the stock is filled with fine brown knotwork on cream and yellow.

No visible wear on any part of the rifle. The knotwork on the stock and the dragon on the receiver keep their thinnest lines intact. The barrel gradient runs evenly from olive to orange. In game the whole rifle reads as clean and saturated.

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, holo-gold and warm red or orange stickers match the dragon palette. Placements along the gold receiver keep the knotwork on the stock free, while dark or olive stickers blend with the barrel and grip accents.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the barrel and receiver edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle end, the receiver edges and the top of the stock, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so make sure they suit the artwork for you.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the rifle reads in game.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the artwork with every line intact.
• Owners of high-end sticker crafts who need a clean base.
• The reference condition of this skin for those who want no compromises.
