Souvenir R8 Revolver | Mauve Aside (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin keeps its idea in Well-Worn: a dark revolver with plum accents and a marbled grip. At this grade the plum paint is visibly chipped on the cylinder and the grip pattern looks patchy, giving the gun a used, handled feel. It suits players who like the colour combination and do not mind a rougher finish.

Item type: pistol. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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 Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The barrel, top rail and upper frame are dark gunmetal, while the lower frame, trigger guard and hammer area are bright polished steel. The cylinder is painted a deep plum with silver chamber faces, and the trigger carries the same plum tone.

The plum paint on the cylinder is chipped in clear patches, and the trigger is worn toward bare metal. The grip loses a noticeable part of the swirl pattern along its edges and grooves. In game the gun looks used, though the plum and pink tones are still evident.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir R8 Revolver | Mauve Aside is 0–0.803; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (9% 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 Harlequin Collection with 19 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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 pink, plum, purple or silver tones match the cylinder and grip well. Placements along the dark frame give contrast without covering the grip artwork.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the grade, since lower values keep more of the grip pattern intact.
• Check the cylinder edges and trigger on the inspect screen, as the plum paint wears there first.
• Inspect the grip swirls on worn copies to see how much of the pour pattern is left.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they suit your plans.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who like a used, handled look on a revolver.
• Budget buyers who mainly want the colour combination.
• Suits those who accept visible wear for a lower cost.
