Souvenir SG 553 | Tiger Moth (Factory New)

Skin overview

SG 553 | Tiger Moth is a Restricted rifle finish painted with a moth wing pattern in bright orange, dark brown and pale cream. In Factory New the orange keeps its full saturation and the dark wing spots have sharp, clean outlines. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as it was painted.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard and rail section are painted in orange-brown with a pale cream lattice of wing cells running along the top. The receiver carries a bright orange base covered in dark brown and black spots that imitate moth wing markings.

The paint is intact on every part of the rifle. The cream lattice on the handguard has crisp edges and the dark spots on the receiver are sharply outlined. In game the orange reads bright and even across the whole model. Nothing looks faded or scratched.

Stickers and crafts

Orange, gold, black and dark brown stickers sit naturally on this finish and follow its warm scheme. Holo or gold stickers on the receiver side stand out well against the orange base, while dark stickers blend into the spotted pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at where the float sits within the wear range, as low and high copies of the same grade can look noticeably different.
• Check the rail edges, the front of the handguard and the magazine edges, since this finish loses paint there first.
• Look at how the dark spots sit on the receiver and magazine in the inspect screenshot.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, as they change both the look and the value of the copy.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the moth wing pattern with no marks at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean orange base for a premium build.
• Conclusion: the top grade for those who value a flawless finish.
