Souvenir CZ75-Auto | Pole Position (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is easy to spot by its pale slide with red outlines and the checkered pattern running down the long magazine. In Minimal Wear the livery is practically intact, and any marks are small specks near the muzzle or the edges that disappear at normal viewing distance. It keeps the clean racing look at a lower cost than the top grade.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide is painted light grey to off-white, with a checkered-flag fade near the front and a bright red stripe with a dark outline tracing its lower edge. The barrel extension and frame are dark grey, and the grip carries a red contour, a light panel with a triangular emblem and a checkered pattern at the base.

Small dark specks may appear on the muzzle, the front of the slide and the bottom edge of the magazine. The red stripes and the grip panel remain intact. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. Most of the pale surface still looks fresh.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir CZ75-Auto | Pole Position is 0–0.7; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (11% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Chroma 2 Collection with 15 skins in total.

It drops from Chroma 2 Case (on sale since Apr 15, 2015).

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.

Stickers and crafts

Red, white, black and grey stickers match the racing livery, and holographic or foil stickers in silver suit the pale slide. Placements on the light part of the slide stay readable, while very colourful stickers can clash with the strict red and grey scheme.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since the pale base shows every step of wear more than darker finishes.
• Inspect the muzzle, the slide edges and the bottom of the magazine first, as they wear before the rest of the pistol.
• Check whether the red stripes along the slide and grip are intact or chipped.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, and whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny specks on the muzzle do not matter.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
