Souvenir Desert Eagle | Bronze Deco (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Bronze Deco is a dark art deco finish with bronze stripes, and in Battle-Scarred it takes on the look of an old, heavily handled pistol. Since this skin's float range ends just past the start of this grade, Battle-Scarred copies look close to Well-Worn ones rather than stripped. It is the most affordable way to get the bronze pattern on a Desert Eagle.

Item type: pistol. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted dark graphite with a fine textured surface, crossed by bronze and gold bands that form angular art deco shapes along its length. The muzzle end carries a lighter silver-grey patch with a speckled texture, and the frame and trigger area pick up the same bronze tone.

The muzzle, slide edges and grip edges are heavily scratched, and the bronze bands are faded across the front half of the slide. Because the skin's float range ends just above the start of this grade, the damage stays only slightly heavier than on Well-Worn copies. In game it reads as a darker, matte version of the pattern. The central parts of the slide and grip still show the bronze shapes.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.46

The whole float range of Souvenir Desert Eagle | Bronze Deco is 0–0.46; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.46 segment (2% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

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

The source is 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

Gold, bronze and black stickers match the art deco palette and blend into the dark slide. Holo or foil stickers in warm metallic tones work well on the flat part of the slide, while bright cold colours tend to clash with the bronze bands.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade keep the muzzle and slide edges cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle and the front edges of the slide, as these are the first places where the bronze paint rubs off.
• Look at the grip edges on worn copies to see how much of the bronze striping is left.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, and whether their colours fit the bronze and graphite scheme.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players looking for the cheapest entry into this Desert Eagle skin.
