Souvenir G3SG1 | Violet Murano (Factory New)

Skin overview

G3SG1 | Violet Murano is a Mil-Spec Grade finish for the terrorist-side auto-sniper, built around a dense pattern of glass-bead swirls on a deep violet base. In Factory New the anodized colour is unbroken, so the pink and blue bead outlines on the handguard and scope stay crisp against the solid blue stock. It is the copy for buyers who want the glassy sheen exactly as designed.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard is covered in a dense pattern of Murano bead swirls in violet, pink and pale blue on a dark navy base, and the same pattern wraps the scope tube. The stock and pistol grip are finished in a solid saturated blue-violet, while the receiver, barrel, muzzle device and magazine stay in plain grey metal.

The coloured coating on the handguard, scope, stock and grip is fully intact. Bead outlines are sharp and the glossy sheen is even across all coloured parts. In game the rifle looks exactly like the preview, with a clean border between the violet parts and the grey metal.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir G3SG1 | Violet Murano is 0–0.5; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (14% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir G3SG1 | Violet Murano belongs to The Canals Collection, which holds 18 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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 violet, pink, blue or holographic tones match the bead pattern and the glossy finish. Placements on the grey receiver above the magazine stand out well against the bare metal, while the handguard area is better left to the pattern itself.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep the handguard edges and scope rings cleaner.
• Inspect the stock corners and the grip, as these blue parts show chips first.
• Souvenir versions exist, so check which stickers are already applied and whether they fit the violet scheme.
• Look at any name tag and existing stickers on the receiver before buying.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the glossy bead pattern without a single chip.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean violet base for colour-matched designs.
• Conclusion: the best choice when appearance matters more than cost.
