Souvenir R8 Revolver | Grip (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

R8 Revolver | Grip in Battle-Scarred keeps its dark body and blue handle, but the pressed metal is heavily scratched down to bare steel on many raised parts. The grip swirls look washed out and patchy, especially where the fingers rest. It is the most affordable way to get the blue-and-steel combination with a rough, weathered feel.

Item type: pistol. 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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel shroud, frame and cylinder are finished in dark gunmetal covered with a fine pressed, knurl-like texture, with polished steel showing on the cylinder flutes, hammer and trigger guard. The top rail and the edges of the barrel stay dark and sharp, framing the textured panels.

Most raised parts of the barrel, rail, cylinder and frame are scratched down to light steel, leaving the dark coating mainly in recesses. The pressed pattern survives only in patches. The grip looks washed out and blotchy, with the strongest fading where the hand rests. In game the revolver reads as rough and weathered, with the blue handle muted but still present.

The float of Souvenir R8 Revolver | Grip ranges from 0 to 1; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–1 — 55% 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

Stickers in blue, teal, white or silver tie in with the grip and the polished steel. Holo or foil stickers in cool tones work well on the dark barrel shroud, while placements on the frame keep the textured metal visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show noticeably less scratching on the barrel and rail.
• Inspect the barrel edges, top rail and cylinder rim, which are the first places the dark coating wears through.
• Look at the front of the grip and the finger grooves to see how much of the blue pattern has faded.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they suit the dark body and blue handle.
