Souvenir Dual Berettas | Duelist (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This skin dresses the Dual Berettas in blue painted mother-of-pearl grips and a dark patina over steel. Battle-Scarred leaves the pistols looking heavily handled: much of the dark finish and grip paint is rubbed away, and bare metal shows through. Buyers who like an aged, weathered pair of pistols pick this grade on purpose.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slides are finished in a dark forced patina, close to black, while the frames and trigger guards are polished light steel. Both grips are painted deep blue with a mother-of-pearl shimmer and carry a large engraved silver medallion with floral scrollwork in the centre.

Much of the dark patina is worn off, and the slides look mostly like scuffed bare metal. The grip paint is heavily chipped, with the blue pearl surviving in patches. In game the pistols lose much of their contrast and read as weathered steel with traces of blue. The engraved medallion remains the most recognisable detail.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–1

The float of Souvenir Dual Berettas | Duelist ranges from 0 to 1; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–1 — 55% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Chop Shop Collection with 16 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Silver, chrome and dark blue stickers match the steel frames and pearl grips. Gold or holographic stickers on the dark slides add accent without competing with the engraved medallion.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the patina on the slides changes noticeably between low and high floats of the same grade.
• Inspect the slide edges and muzzles, which lose their dark finish first.
• Look at the outer edges of the blue grips for paint chips on worn copies.
• On souvenir copies, review the applied stickers and whether they suit the blue grip artwork.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the cheapest way to use the Duelist.
• Buyers who deliberately want weathered steel with traces of blue.
• The pick for a rough, heavily used look.
