Souvenir Nova | Dark Sigil (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Dark Sigil gives the Nova the feel of an old engraved hunting gun rather than a bright showpiece. The dragon motif on the stock and the etched receiver remain readable even as the surface ages. In Field-Tested the darker palette hides light scuffs well, which suits the weathered character of the design.

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

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

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The barrel is a dark gunmetal tube with a lighter muzzle ring and a black front sight. The pump forend is a warm brown with deep horizontal ribs, finished at the front by a copper cap on the magazine tube.

Scuffs show along the pump ribs and on the copper cap, where the warm colour starts to break up. The edges of the receiver lose some of their dark coat and hints of bare metal appear. The dragon on the stock is still readable, though its finest lines look slightly softer. At normal distance the skin keeps its overall look, and the dark palette masks much of the wear.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of Souvenir Nova | Dark Sigil ranges from 0 to 0.699; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 33% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Kilowatt Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Kilowatt Case.

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 black, grey, bronze or gold tones match the engraved metal and copper accents. Placements on the receiver work well because they sit next to the etched ornament without covering the dragon on the stock. Bright neon colours tend to clash with the muted palette.

What to check before buying

• Look at the copper cap and the pump ribs first, since they show wear before any other part.
• Check the float position within the wear range, as a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the dragon engraving on the stock to see how much of the fine line work survives.
• Note any stickers or name tag and whether they suit the dark, engraved style.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who use the Nova on eco rounds and want a skin that hides scuffs well.
• Buyers who like the aged, engraved hunting-gun look.
• A practical everyday choice for this design.
