Souvenir Five-SeveN | Dark Polymer (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Dark Polymer in Battle-Scarred keeps the purple base colour, but the polymer illusion is largely gone. Heavy scratches cover the slide, muzzle and grip, and grey metal shows through in many places. It is the most affordable way to have this purple pistol in the inventory.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted in a pale lavender with a pinkish sheen, lighter on the top surface and slightly bluish along the sides. The frame and accessory rail shift to a cooler blue-violet, while the grip carries darker purple and pink streaks that imitate the inner structure of a translucent plastic.

Heavy wear covers the slide, muzzle, frame and grip, with grey metal visible over large areas. The translucent look is mostly lost and only patches of purple remain. From normal distance the pistol reads as a worn purple-and-grey gun.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Dark Polymer is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the 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

Stickers in purple, pink, lavender or holographic tones blend with the polymer look. White or silver stickers placed along the slide keep the soft colour scheme intact.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps more of the gloss.
• Inspect the muzzle and the front edge of the slide, as they show wear first.
• Look at the bottom of the grip and the trigger guard on mid and worn grades.
• Check whether applied stickers or a name tag match the purple colour scheme.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred
