Souvenir Desert Eagle | Naga (Factory New)

Skin overview

Desert Eagle | Naga is a Restricted pistol skin that dresses the Desert Eagle in aged silver metal with a serpent motif engraved along the slide. Brown wooden grips with a round engraved medallion complete the look of a decorated heirloom weapon. In Factory New the engraving lines are crisp and the metal keeps an even, unbroken patina.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide and barrel are finished in aged silver-grey metal, with an ornate engraving of a serpentine creature and scrollwork running along the top half of the slide. Below it, the factory lettering is engraved into the side of the slide, and a smaller decorative engraving sits near the rear sight.

The metal shows an even aged-silver tone with no scuffs on the slide edges or muzzle. Every line of the serpent engraving and the scrollwork keeps full depth and contrast. The wooden grips and medallion look clean and evenly coloured. In game the pistol reads as a polished, decorated piece.

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, brown and muted metallic stickers match the aged silver and wooden grips best. Placing them on the lower part of the slide or the frame keeps the serpent engraving visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since the slide edges and engraving show the difference first.
• Inspect the serpent engraving on the slide to see how much contrast it keeps on this copy.
• Check applied stickers, as they cover part of the slide or frame where the engraving sits.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir and whether it has a name tag.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the engraving at full contrast.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base under gold or brown stickers.
• The choice for buyers who want Naga in its most polished form.
