Souvenir Five-SeveN | Copper Galaxy (Factory New)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Copper Galaxy puts a copper metal flake paint on the slide of the pistol and leaves the frame in dark grey. Up close the flakes catch light like small sparks, which fits the idea of stars as pin pricks in darkness. In Factory New the copper is even along the whole slide, and the flake texture reads as one continuous finish.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The slide is fully covered in copper metal flake paint, from the muzzle end to the rear serrations, which are picked out in a brighter copper tone. The frame, trigger guard, rail and grip stay in dark grey with the textured grip panel left unchanged.

The copper on the slide is unbroken, including the edges and the rear serrations. The flake texture is uniform, with no dull spots or scratches. In game the slide reads as a solid warm copper block against the grey frame. Every part of the weapon looks clean.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Copper Galaxy ranges from 0 to 0.2; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 35% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Gold, bronze and holo stickers in warm tones match the copper slide well. Black, deep blue or star-themed stickers pick up the dark space motif. Placing them on the slide keeps them in view next to the copper, while the grey frame suits a calmer look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the clean end of a grade look closest to the better one.
• Look at the slide edges, the muzzle and the rear serrations first, as these lose paint before the rest.
• The flake pattern is the same on every copy, so there is no reason to pay extra for a particular pattern.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, because they change how the copper slide looks.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the copper flake slide with no marks at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a fully clean surface for warm or holo stickers.
• The choice for those who want the finish exactly as intended.
