Souvenir R8 Revolver | Leafhopper (Factory New)

Skin overview

R8 Revolver | Leafhopper is an industrial-grade pistol skin with a deep, glossy green body, copper-orange accents on the rails and trigger, and a pale mint grip. In Factory New the anodized coat is unbroken, so the green keeps its wet, mirror-like sheen and the copper parts stay sharp against it. This is the grade for buyers who want the colour contrast exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Anodized: the colour is in the metal coating itself, so wear shows mostly as dulling rather than a rubbed-off pattern.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The barrel, frame and cylinder are coated in a deep, glossy green with faint darker and bluish patches from the case-hardened treatment, most visible on the cylinder. The top rail, the under-barrel rail, the trigger and small trim pieces are anodized in a copper-orange that contrasts with the green.

The green coat is fully intact on every part, with an even gloss from muzzle to frame. The copper rails and trigger have clean, crisp edges. In game the revolver looks polished and saturated at any distance. Nothing on the weapon shows wear.

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 and holo stickers in green or orange tones echo the rail accents and sit well on the green frame. Placements along the barrel side or on the frame above the grip keep the copper rail visible. Bright red or purple stickers tend to clash with the calm two-tone scheme.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade shows noticeably less damage on the edges.
• Inspect the muzzle, the top rail edges and the cylinder, as these wear first on this finish.
• Check whether the copper trigger and rails still have clean edges, because they carry much of the skin's contrast.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied, and whether the copy is a Souvenir with fixed stickers.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the green gloss and copper edges without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for gold or holo stickers.
• The choice for an untouched copy of this skin.
