Souvenir Dual Berettas | Stained (Factory New)

Skin overview

Dual Berettas | Stained puts a bright steel finish on both pistols and covers it with cloudy blue-grey patina stains. In Factory New the polished metal stays crisp, and the darker blotches sit cleanly against it. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the patina contrast exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

Both pistols are finished in light, polished steel with irregular blue-grey patina blotches spread over the slides, frames and trigger guards. The grips carry the same stained pattern, which looks darker there against the chequered panels.

The steel is evenly polished and the patina blotches have sharp, smooth borders. Edges of the slides and the muzzles show no scratching. In game the pistols read as bright metal with soft dark clouds over it. Every part looks clean.

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

Silver, grey and dark blue stickers match the steel and the patina tones. Holo or foil stickers in cool colours sit well on the light metal, while a single darker sticker can echo the stains.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps more of the steel shine.
• Look at the slide edges and muzzles in the inspect view, as they show wear first.
• The patina placement varies between copies, so compare how the blotches fall on the slides and grips.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change the look and may not suit everyone.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the cleanest steel and sharpest patina contrast.
• Players planning a sticker craft on bright metal.
• Conclusion: the reference version of this finish.
