Souvenir CZ75-Auto | Chalice (Factory New)

Skin overview

CZ75-Auto | Chalice is a two-tone anodized finish: a royal blue slide over an amber-gold frame, both laid on a chrome base. In Factory New the candy coat is unbroken, so the blue stays deep and glossy and the gold frame reflects light evenly across the grip area. This is the grade for buyers who want the contrast between the two colours exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is coated in a transparent royal blue over chrome, giving it a bright, metallic sheen along its full length. The frame, trigger guard, trigger, hammer and controls are candied in amber, so the whole lower half reads as polished gold.

In Factory New the blue and amber coats are intact on every part of the pistol. Copies near the top of the range can carry a barely visible scuff on the slide edge, but it only shows on close inspection. At normal distance in game the slide reads as a solid, saturated blue and the frame as clean gold. The grips and magazine look untouched.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir CZ75-Auto | Chalice is 0–0.1; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (70% of the 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 and foil stickers in yellow or blue tones blend well with the amber frame and the blue slide. Keeping stickers on the frame preserves the uninterrupted blue of the slide, while a single blue sticker on the gold area adds contrast without clutter.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies at the low end show no scuffs on the slide edges.
• Inspect the slide corners and the muzzle end, as these are the first places where the blue coat gives way to chrome.
• Look at the front of the frame and the trigger guard for small marks in the amber.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, and for Souvenir copies look at which stickers are applied and where they sit on the slide and frame.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the blue and gold coats without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or blue sticker combinations.
• Factory New is the choice when the condition of every edge matters.
