Souvenir Nova | Moon in Libra (Factory New)

Skin overview

Nova | Moon in Libra is a Consumer Grade hydrographic that wraps the shotgun in deep navy blue with a scattered zodiac motif. In Factory New the blue is even and saturated, and the small dark symbols across the receiver and stock keep sharp outlines. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: shotgun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and stock are covered in a deep navy blue with small darker zodiac symbols scattered across the surface. The pump and the grip area of the stock carry fine ribbing picked out in pale blue lines, which gives the dark finish some contrast.

The navy coat is uniform on every part, and the zodiac symbols keep crisp edges. The pale ribbing on the pump and stock is clean and evenly spaced. In game the shotgun reads as a solid dark blue weapon with a subtle texture. Nothing on the model shows bare metal.

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

Silver, white and pale blue stickers echo the ribbing and the cool tone of the finish. Gold or holographic stickers on the receiver add contrast to the navy base and fit the night-sky mood of the zodiac motif.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps the pump ribs noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle, pump ribs and stock edges, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so decide whether they suit the dark blue scheme before buying.
• The pattern is a fine scattered print, so pattern placement rarely changes the look in a meaningful way.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the zodiac print and ribbing without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for a careful layout.
• The cleanest version of a budget-friendly shotgun finish.
