Souvenir G3SG1 | High Seas (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is built around warm brass tones, a dark woven texture on the handguard and scope, and a reddish-orange wood-grain grip. Minimal Wear leaves this combination practically intact, with any marks small and confined to the outer edges. It delivers almost the full look of the cleanest grade to a buyer who does not need a flawless surface.

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

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 receiver carries a silver-grey panel with engraved wave-like scrollwork, framed by brass trim along the top and around the magazine well. The handguard and scope tube are covered in a dark woven texture, the muzzle device is teal, and the front sight ring, scope end caps and mount are brass.

Light scuffs may appear on the muzzle tip and the rims of the scope caps. The receiver engraving, magazine and grip remain clean. At normal play distance the skin is hard to tell apart from Factory New. Marks are noticeable mainly in inspect mode.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, brass-toned and teal stickers blend with the fittings and muzzle, while dark navy or black designs sit well against the woven handguard. Placements on the receiver below the scope or on the stock keep the engraved panel visible; bright neon colours tend to clash with the warm palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the grade, since lower floats keep the muzzle and scope caps cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle device, scope end caps and magazine edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and any name tag, because they change how the receiver and stock read.
• Decide whether you want a regular, StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, as they are listed separately.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters fine with tiny edge marks that hide in game.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
