Souvenir Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred turns the cheerful princess-and-unicorn scene into a heavily chipped version of itself. Bare metal shows along the slide and on the grip, breaking up the magenta frame and the white background. Some buyers pick it precisely for that contrast between a sweet storybook motif and rough damage.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is outlined in bright magenta and carries a red castle under a blue sky with clouds, a yellow sun-flower and green leaves along its lower edge. Towards the rear of the slide a pink unicorn and a red-haired princess take over the scene, with the princess continuing down onto the grip.

Large areas of bare metal appear along the slide, on the grip and around the trigger guard. Chips cut into the castle, the flowers and parts of the princess and unicorns, and the magenta trim is broken in many places. The overall colour scheme is still recognisable from a distance. Up close the pistol looks heavily battered.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.9

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Fairy Tale is 0.02–0.9; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.9 segment (51% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Operation Broken Fang Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Operation Broken Fang Case.

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

Pink, purple and holographic stickers blend with the magenta trim and the unicorns, while white or pastel designs sit well on the white frame. Placing stickers on the slide away from the princess keeps the main character visible.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade keep the white frame and grip noticeably brighter.
• Look at the top edges and front of the slide and the muzzle, which lose paint first.
• Inspect the princess's face and the unicorns on worn copies, because chips there change the look the most.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as they can either suit or clash with the busy artwork.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players looking for the lowest entry into this skin.
• Fans of the contrast between a sweet motif and heavy damage.
• A niche pick for those who like a battered look.
