Souvenir Dual Berettas | Marina (Factory New)

Skin overview

Dual Berettas | Marina covers both pistols in a hydrographic finish of warm yellow crossed by broad dark navy diagonal stripes. In Factory New the yellow is fully saturated and the stripe borders are sharp, so the hazard-tape contrast is at its strongest. The scuffs and speckles on the slides are painted into the artwork and are not real damage.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Both pistols share one scheme: a yellow-orange base with wide dark navy bands running diagonally across the slides, frames and barrels. The slides carry most of the navy, broken by slanted yellow stripes.

There is no real wear: every scuff on the slides belongs to the printed artwork. The edges of the slides and muzzles keep full paint, and the yellow is at its brightest. In game the pair reads as a clean, high-contrast yellow and navy block in both hands.

Factory New wear: float 0.05–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Dual Berettas | Marina is 0.05–0.5; Factory New takes the 0.05–0.07 segment (4% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

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

Navy, black and gold stickers sit naturally on the dark bands of the slides, while yellow or orange ones can disappear into the base colour. A row of matching stickers along the slide follows the diagonal rhythm of the stripes. Holo or foil stickers in blue tones work well against the warm yellow of the grips.

What to look at before you buy

• Inspect the slide edges and muzzles closely, since the painted-in grime can mask or imitate real wear.
• Check where the float sits within the grade, as a low Field-Tested copy looks close to Minimal Wear.
• Compare Battle-Scarred and Well-Worn copies side by side, because the early end of the float range keeps them closer than usual.
• Look at the placement of the diagonal stripes, which shifts slightly between copies, and at any stickers or name tag already applied.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the stripes and yellow at full contrast.
• Sticker crafters who need clean slides as a base.
• The choice for anyone who wants Marina exactly as designed.
