Souvenir Sawed-Off | Copper (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This finish pairs a copper-plated receiver and copper trim with a dark barrel and brown furniture, giving the Sawed-Off an old workshop look. At Minimal Wear the difference from a fresh copy comes down to faint marks that are hard to spot in a match. Buyers who want the polished copper look without paying for the top grade usually land here.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Faint scuffs may appear on the receiver edges and the tip of the magazine cap. The plating is otherwise even and keeps almost all of its shine. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New. The forend, stock and trigger guard still look clean.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir Sawed-Off | Copper is 0–1; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (8% 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 Dust Collection with 9 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.

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 check before buying

• 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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-new copper look in matches.
• Buyers who prefer to save over Factory New without visible loss in game.
• A sensible balance of look and cost.
