Souvenir Nova | Yorkshire (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Nova pairs a deep bronze body with gold trim and a dark barrel that shifts slightly towards blue under light. A Minimal Wear copy keeps the same polished, classic look, with only faint marks that are hard to spot outside inspect mode.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Field-Tested.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The barrel is dark blued metal with a slight blue-violet sheen, ending in a black front sight, while the ribbed pump grip under it is black. The receiver is painted deep glossy bronze with thin gold lines along its edges, and the magazine tube cap stays plain silver metal.

Tiny scuffs can appear on the receiver edges and the tips of the gold ribs. The barrel and the flat surfaces of the stock stay clean. At normal distance it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. It is a sensible choice for a near-clean look at a lower grade.

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

Gold, brown and black stickers, including holo or foil gold, blend well with the bronze body. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the classic look, while a single dark sticker on the stock keeps the gold accents in focus.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the lower end look noticeably cleaner on the edges.
• Inspect the gold ribs on the grip and the receiver edges, as these are the first places where the paint chips.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether they suit the bronze and gold scheme.
• Look for an existing name tag or stickers on regular copies if you plan your own craft.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look and do not inspect every edge.
• Crafters who accept tiny marks on the ribs in exchange for a lower grade.
• A practical compromise between cleanliness and cost.
