Souvenir P250 | Lotus Imprint (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Restricted P250 finish is built around ornament: gold filigree over blue flake, with a lotus motif on the frame. At Minimal Wear the pattern reads the same as a fresh copy in game, and any marks sit on the very edges where they are hard to spot. It costs less than Factory New and gives up very little.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Light scuffs may appear on the front edge of the slide and around the muzzle. The gold lines and blue flake on the slide sides stay intact. At normal distance in game it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. Grip panels and the lotus emblem remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir P250 | Lotus Imprint ranges from 0 to 1; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 8% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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 Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look at a lower cost than Factory New.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks that are hidden in game.
• A sensible balance of clean look and price.
