Souvenir CZ75-Auto | Chalice (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Chalice pairs a blue anodized slide with an amber frame, which makes the pistol easy to pick out even in a quick glance at the inventory. In Minimal Wear the colours keep their saturation, and any marks are small scuffs at the edges that are hard to spot without inspecting the model closely. For most buyers this grade gives the same look in game as a factory-new copy.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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 Minimal Wear small chrome flecks can appear on the slide corners and around the muzzle end, where the blue coat is thinnest. The front edge of the frame and the trigger guard may show a few light scuffs in the amber. In game these marks are practically invisible, and both colours keep their full depth. The flat sides of the slide and frame, the grips and the magazine still look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.1

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 look at before you buy

• 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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want the full Chalice look in game and do not inspect edges up close.
• Buyers looking for a cheaper entry to this skin with almost the same appearance.
• Minimal Wear is a sensible pick for those who value the look in game over perfect condition.
