Souvenir Desert Eagle | Firebreathing (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Firebreathing covers the pistol in purple and blue flames laid over a pale lavender base with pearlescent paint. In Factory New the pearl sheen is unbroken, so the flame tongues shift between violet, pink and light blue as the gun moves. Every outline on the slide and grip stays sharp, and the finish looks its brightest.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The base of the whole pistol is a pale lavender pearlescent coat with purple, pink and light blue flame shapes running along the slide and frame. On the slide and barrel the flames stretch toward the muzzle, which is painted bright violet, while greyish mauve areas give the pattern depth.

The pearlescent coat is complete on every part, from the muzzle to the base of the grip. The colour shift between violet and blue is fully visible, especially on the slide flanks. At normal in-game distance the pistol reads as a bright, clean lavender piece. Nothing on the weapon shows exposed metal.

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

Holo stickers in purple, pink, light blue or silver tones match the pearlescent flames best. A single sticker on the slide flank keeps the flame lines readable, while dark or warm-coloured stickers stand out against the lavender base.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value keeps more pearlescent paint on the top of the slide.
• Look at the muzzle face and slide edges in the inspect view, as these are the first parts to lose colour.
• On Field-Tested and worse copies, compare how much of the flame pattern is left on the slide flanks and grip.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, because they change how the clean lavender surface looks.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the pearlescent colour shift at its fullest.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean lavender surface for holo combinations.
• The choice for buyers who want this skin without compromise.
