Souvenir Sawed-Off | Copper (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Sawed-Off | Copper is recognised by its copper receiver and trim against a dark barrel and brown furniture. In Battle-Scarred the copper is heavily scuffed and darkened, with bare metal showing on edges and raised parts, which fits the patina idea of a long-used gun. It is the most rugged and cheapest way into this finish.

Item type: shotgun. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is fully copper plated with a warm, slightly brownish metallic tone and thin copper edging, and the trigger guard and trigger share the same copper colour. The barrel and magazine tube stay dark gunmetal, with a copper cap on the end of the magazine tube.

The plating is heavily worn, with bare metal on the receiver edges, the magazine cap and the trigger guard. Large darkened areas break up the copper on the receiver, and the forend ribs are worn down. In game the gun looks rough and well used, with the copper reduced to patches. The dark barrel changes the least and keeps the silhouette readable.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–1

The float of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Copper 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.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir Sawed-Off | Copper belongs to The Dust Collection, which holds 9 skins. 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.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, bronze and brown stickers blend with the copper receiver, while black or dark grey ones echo the barrel. Small stickers placed on the receiver side keep the clean plated look intact.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the copper shine fades gradually rather than in steps.
• Look at the receiver edges and the magazine cap, as these show wear first on this finish.
• There is no pattern to pick, so compare copies by plating condition, stickers and name tag.
• On Souvenir copies, check that the applied stickers suit the copper colour scheme.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who want the most rugged, heavily used version of the gun.
• Budget buyers who simply want the skin in their inventory.
• The cheapest way to own this finish.
