Souvenir Nova | Clear Polymer (Factory New)

Skin overview

Nova | Clear Polymer is painted to make the shotgun's casing look transparent, showing springs, internal parts and green accents through a pale grey-blue shell. In Factory New the illusion is at its sharpest: the glassy surfaces stay smooth and the green details read as clean, bright highlights. This is the grade for buyers who want the see-through effect exactly as designed.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole Nova is covered in a pale grey-blue, glass-like finish that imitates a transparent casing. Through the forend a coiled spring is drawn around the magazine tube, and the receiver shows internal parts with bright green highlights.

In Factory New the finish is clean across the barrel, forend, receiver and stock. The glassy grey-blue surface looks smooth, and the green highlights are sharp. In game the transparent-casing effect reads exactly as drawn, with no marks on the edges.

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

Green, silver or holographic stickers match the green highlights and glassy grey-blue shell. Placing them on the receiver keeps the drawn springs on the forend and grip visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the see-through effect depends heavily on clean edges.
• Look at the muzzle, the forend edges and the bottom of the stock, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the green accents on the receiver and near the muzzle are still visible on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as bright or busy stickers can clash with the clean transparent look.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the transparent-casing effect without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean glassy base.
• The best choice when the see-through look is the main reason to buy.
