Souvenir P250 | Lotus Imprint (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Lotus Imprint is a gold-and-blue ornamental finish for the P250 with a lotus emblem on the frame. In Battle-Scarred much of the blue flake and fine gold lines are rubbed through on the slide, muzzle and grip, giving the pistol an aged, antique look. It is the cheapest way to own the design.

Item type: pistol. 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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide is covered in light blue metal flake broken up by gold filigree swirls, with pearl-white zones between the scrolls and a gold cartouche near the ejection port. The muzzle, slide edges and rear sights are finished in gold, while the frame and trigger guard are pale grey-white with a gold trigger.

Large areas of the slide, muzzle and grip are rubbed down to grey metal, and many gold scrolls are broken or faded. The magazine base and trigger guard edges are heavily worn. In game the pistol reads as a weathered blue-and-gold piece rather than a bright one. Fragments of the ornament and the lotus remain visible on the protected areas.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of Souvenir P250 | Lotus Imprint is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Arabesque Collection with 17 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.

Which stickers suit it

Gold, holo and foil stickers in blue, white or gold tones match the ornamental finish best. Placing them on the white and blue zones of the slide side keeps the gold scrollwork and the lotus emblem visible. Loud reds and greens tend to clash with the calm palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the slide edges and muzzle change most between low and high floats.
• Look at the front of the slide and the muzzle face first, as paint leaves these parts before anywhere else.
• Inspect the grip contours and magazine base, where scuffs break up the gold ornament.
• Make sure any applied stickers or name tag match the blue and gold palette you want.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget players looking for the cheapest entry into this design.
• Fans of an aged, antique look on ornamental finishes.
• The low-cost choice for those who like weathered gold and blue.
