Souvenir Dual Berettas | Duelist (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The Duelist is built around contrast: dark slides, bright frames and blue pearl grips with an engraved centrepiece. In Well-Worn the patina is broken up along the slides and the blue on the grips is chipped at the edges, yet the medallion still stands out. It is a more affordable way to own the design with clear signs of use.

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 Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

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.

Large areas of patina are gone from the slides, leaving patchy bare steel. The blue on the grips is chipped around the edges and starts to break up on flat areas. In game the dark slides look noticeably lighter and uneven. The medallion and the middle of the grips keep most of their look.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir Dual Berettas | Duelist is 0–1; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (7% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Dual Berettas | Duelist belongs to The Chop Shop Collection, which holds 16 skins. 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 the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget players who want the engraved grips in their loadout.
• Fans of visibly aged finishes on classic pistols.
• An affordable entry with clear character.
