Souvenir Nova | Blaze Orange (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Nova pairs bright orange with dark camo blotches, and in Well-Worn that contrast gets softer. Paint is visibly rubbed off along the barrel, the edges of the receiver and the stock, showing grey metal and primer underneath. It looks like a shotgun that has been out in the field for a long time, which some players like for this particular pattern.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver and stock are painted in bright blaze orange with irregular black and dark brown blotches that resemble leaves and branches from a photographic hunting camo. The long barrel and magazine tube carry a darker version of the print, with tan and black patches over a dark base, while the magazine cap at the front is orange again.

Paint loss spreads along the barrel and magazine tube, and the receiver edges and the stock butt show grey metal and primer. The orange becomes duller and the camo blotches lose some sharpness. In game the wear is noticeable on the barrel and the front of the gun. The central panels of the stock and receiver still carry most of the orange.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir Nova | Blaze Orange is 0.06–0.8; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (9% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Militia Collection with 11 skins in total. 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.

Stickers and crafts

Black, dark brown and orange stickers blend with the hunting camo, while white or cream accents stand out cleanly on the orange receiver. Placements on the receiver side work better than on the dark barrel, where stickers tend to get lost.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the grade, especially in Factory New, where this skin only covers a narrow upper slice.
• Look at the muzzle, the magazine cap and the stock edges, since these lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies exist, so decide whether you want their preset stickers or a regular copy.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change how the orange areas look.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who want this Nova in the inventory.
• Players who like a field-used look on hunting gear.
• Conclusion: an affordable copy with visible but acceptable wear.
