Souvenir P250 | Mehndi (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This grade keeps the signature look of Mehndi almost intact: a glowing orange top half and a brown, ornament-laced frame below. Any marks are small and usually sit on the front of the slide, so the swirl pattern still looks fresh in hand. It is a sensible way to get a near-clean paisley pistol.

Item type: pistol. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide is painted bright orange and covered end to end with fine cream-white swirls, dots and paisley curls, including the front face around the muzzle. The frame and dust cover are dark greyish brown with a larger copper-toned paisley ornament drawn in thin lines.

Light specks may appear on the front of the slide and around the muzzle face. The slide top and the frame ornament remain clean. In game the difference from Factory New is hard to spot at normal distance. The trigger and grip look untouched.

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, copper, cream and warm orange stickers blend with the paisley ornament without fighting it. Dark brown or black stickers placed on the frame keep the bright slide pattern clear.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, because the slide edges and muzzle face show wear first.
• Look at the top of the slide in the inspect view, since that is the brightest and most visible part in first person.
• Review applied stickers and any name tag to make sure they fit the orange and brown scheme.
• For StatTrak™ copies, confirm the counter suits your taste on this busy ornament.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters who accept tiny marks that are hidden in game.
• A balanced pick between appearance and cost.
