Souvenir AWP | The Prince (Factory New)

Skin overview

AWP | The Prince is a Covert AWP finish built around fine gold filigree on a dark body with red accents. In Factory New the ornament keeps sharp, unbroken lines, and the gold on the muzzle, scope ring and thumbhole rim looks crisp. This grade shows the engraving pattern exactly as intended.

Item type: sniper rifle. 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.

Other qualities of this skin: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The barrel is dark with gold engraved bands near the muzzle and along its length, and the muzzle itself carries gold ring details. The receiver and stock are covered with dense gold filigree over a dark base, with red areas showing on the receiver, the magazine and the scope.

The gold filigree is complete on the barrel, receiver and stock, with no breaks in the lines. The red areas on the receiver, magazine and scope are fully saturated. In game the rifle reads as clean dark metal with bright gold detailing. Every edge, including the muzzle and thumbhole rim, is untouched.

The whole float range of Souvenir AWP | The Prince is 0–0.6; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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 deep red stickers match the filigree and the red accents best. Dark or black stickers placed on the receiver blend with the base without breaking the ornament. Bright neon colours tend to clash with the classic dark-and-gold look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a worn grade keeps much more of the gold filigree.
• Inspect the muzzle, scope edges and thumbhole rim, as these lose gold first.
• Look at the red areas on the magazine and scope for fading on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, since they change how the ornate artwork reads.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the filigree with sharp, unbroken lines.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or red combinations.
• The choice for those who want The Prince exactly as designed.
