Souvenir Five-SeveN | Dark Polymer (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Five-SeveN finish is recognisable by its translucent purple body and the pinkish sheen along the slide. In Minimal Wear the polymer effect is still clean in game, with only small marks that show when you inspect the edges up close. It is a way to get practically the same look as the cleanest grade.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Tiny scuffs can appear on the muzzle and the front edge of the slide. The colour and gloss of the slide sides and grip remain untouched. At normal distance the difference from Factory New is hard to notice.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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 check before buying

• 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 the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want nearly the Factory New look in game.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean purple base.
• A sensible balance between appearance and cost.
