Souvenir Desert Eagle | Meteorite (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Meteorite covers the pistol in dark metallic paint broken up by a fine crystalline web of bronze, brown and grey lines. In Factory New the network stays crisp and the metallic sheen is even across the slide and grip. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as designed.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide and frame are coated in near-black gunmetal with a dense web of thin crystalline lines in brown, grey and bronze. Along the top of the slide the paint catches warm bronze highlights, while the front of the slide near the muzzle shows lighter grey, stone-like patches.

In Factory New the crystalline lines are sharp along the whole slide and grip. The bronze highlights on top of the slide and the grey patches near the muzzle are clean and evenly toned. At normal distance in game the gun looks smooth and uniformly dark, with the pattern visible on inspect.

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

Bronze, gold and holo stickers with warm tones echo the highlights on the slide. Dark or monochrome stickers on the slide keep the restrained look, while a single bright accent stands out well against the black base.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position, since the range ends early and low Field-Tested copies look close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the slide edges and the muzzle face, which show wear first.
• For Souvenir copies, look at the pre-applied stickers, as they cannot be changed and define the look.
• Check any name tag or applied stickers and whether they match the dark finish.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the crystalline pattern in its cleanest form.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless dark base.
• Conclusion: the pick for a perfect-looking copy.
