Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The AWP | Dragon Lore combines a red-orange dragon on the front of the stock with fine brown knotwork across the cream-gold rear. In Minimal Wear the finish still looks clean, and the few marks that appear sit on edges you rarely notice in a match. It keeps the full colour of the artwork at a lower grade than Factory New.

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.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Light marks may appear at the muzzle end and on the sharpest edges of the receiver. The dragon, the knotwork and the barrel diamonds stay fully readable. From normal distance the rifle is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. Only close inspection shows small scuffs.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir AWP | Dragon Lore ranges from 0 to 0.7; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 11% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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 Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the finish stays bright under stickers.
• A sensible balance between appearance and the step below Factory New.
