Souvenir MAC-10 | Red Filigree (Factory New)

Skin overview

MAC-10 | Red Filigree covers the upper body of the SMG in a dense red ornamental pattern on a dark maroon base, while the grip and magazine stay plain grey metal. In Factory New the fine lines of the filigree are sharp and continuous, and the contrast between the red tracery and the dark background is at its strongest. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: smg. 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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The finish covers the receiver and upper body of the MAC-10, from the barrel shroud to the rear, with a dark maroon base and a dense red filigree of flowers, scrolls and curls. The barrel tip stays dark grey, while the grip, magazine, trigger guard and rear stock rail are left in plain grey metal.

The red filigree is complete over the whole receiver, with every thin line intact. Edges and corners show no breaks in the pattern. In game the ornament reads as a crisp dark-red texture on the upper body. The grey grip and magazine look clean and uniform.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir MAC-10 | Red Filigree 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.

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

Gold, deep red and black stickers match the ornamental, vintage feel of the filigree. Placing them on the side of the receiver keeps them on the patterned area, while bright neon colours tend to clash with the dark maroon base.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float shows noticeably cleaner edges on the receiver.
• Inspect the top edge and front corners of the receiver, where the filigree breaks first.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so decide whether those stickers suit the dark red finish.
• Look at any applied stickers or name tag, as they add to the look but not always to the value.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the filigree complete down to the finest line.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark background for gold or red stickers.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who value the pattern in full.
