Souvenir PP-Bizon | Antique (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Because the float range of this skin is capped below the usual maximum, Battle-Scarred copies of Antique are never fully stripped. The magazine and grip are heavily scuffed and much of the gold decoration is gone, yet the wood tone and dark receiver still identify the skin. It is the most weathered take on an already aged design.

Item type: smg. 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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and handguard are painted as dark, weathered gunmetal with gold engraved scrollwork, gold outlines around the vent cutouts and an ornamental medallion near the front. The helical drum magazine imitates reddish-orange wood grain, finished with a decorative gold band and a gold cap on its front face.

Heavy scratches cover the drum, the muzzle and the receiver, and most of the thin gold inlay is gone. The grip and stock show broad worn areas. Because the float range is capped, the paint never wears down completely. In game the skin reads as dark metal with a faded orange-brown drum.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

The whole float range of Souvenir PP-Bizon | Antique is 0–0.5; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.5 segment (10% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Huntsman Collection with 20 skins in total.

The source is Huntsman Weapon Case (on sale since Jun 11, 2014).

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 warm orange stickers echo the inlay and wood grain, while holo or gold stickers suit the ornamental theme. Placing them on the dark receiver gives the most contrast without covering the scrollwork.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the chosen wear, since lower floats keep more of the thin gold inlay.
• Inspect the edges of the drum magazine, as they lose paint before the rest of the weapon.
• Look at the gold scrollwork on the receiver and handguard to judge how much decoration is left.
• Note any stickers or name tag, and confirm whether you are buying a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry buyers who want the skin at the lowest grade.
• Players who prefer a dark, heavily weathered gun over the gold detail.
• Conclusion: the cheapest entry point, and the paint never fully disappears.
