Souvenir Five-SeveN | Fowl Play (Factory New)

Skin overview

Five-SeveN | Fowl Play is a Classified pistol skin with a teal slide covered in falling feathers, set over a plain grey frame. In Factory New the teal reads deep and even, and the dark and pale feather shapes keep sharp outlines along the top of the slide. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the colour contrast exactly as designed.

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.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is painted in a glossy teal patina, with dark charcoal and light grey feather shapes running along its top and sides. The frame, accessory rail, trigger guard and grip are left in matte dark grey, with lighter grey controls standing out on the side.

The teal slide is uniform, with no scratches on the muzzle end or top edge. Feather outlines are crisp and the light grey shapes stand out clearly against the teal. In game the slide reads as a solid block of colour above the grey frame. Every part of the pistol looks clean.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Five-SeveN | Fowl Play is 0–1; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (7% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Five-SeveN | Fowl Play belongs to The Breakout Collection, which holds 14 skins.

It drops from Operation Breakout Weapon Case (on sale since Jun 23, 2014).

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 teal, white, black or grey tones blend with the feather slide without breaking the colour scheme. Placing them on the grey frame below the slide keeps the feather pattern unobstructed, while a single accent in a warm colour can add contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the slide edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle end, top edge and rear serrations of the slide, as these lose the finish first.
• Look at the feather placement on the slide in the inspect view to make sure the pattern sits the way you like.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change the look of the plain grey frame.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the teal and feather contrast with no marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a coordinated look.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who care most about the finish.
