Souvenir Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo is a restrained pistol finish: a black dragon decal runs along a dark metallic slide, while the frame stays a muted grey-green. In Factory New the slide keeps an even, deep tone and every curve of the dragon's body and claws reads sharply. This is the grade for buyers who want the decal exactly as it was drawn.

Item type: pistol. 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.

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide carries a dark gunmetal anodized coat with a black dragon decal stretched along its side from the muzzle end towards the rear sights. The frame, trigger guard and grip are a flat grey-green, and the textured grip panel and finger grooves keep the same muted shade.

Factory New shows the slide coat uniform from end to end with no scuffs on the edges. The dragon decal is complete, with clean outlines on the head, scales and tail. In game the pistol looks fresh both in the viewmodel and on inspect. The grey-green frame and grip are untouched.

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

Black, silver or grey stickers match the near-monochrome scheme. Place them on the frame below the slide so the dragon stays fully visible. A single dark accent works better than a bright mix.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position: a low value keeps the slide edges and decal at their cleanest.
• Inspect the muzzle end and slide edges, as wear shows there first.
• Look at the fine lines of the dragon to make sure the outline is crisp.
• On StatTrak™ or Souvenir copies, check that the counter or applied stickers fit the restrained look.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the dragon decal and slide coat in pristine condition.
• Players who inspect their pistol often and notice small marks.
• A base for clean monochrome sticker crafts.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want this design without compromise.
