Souvenir SSG 08 | Sea Calico (Factory New)

Skin overview

SSG 08 | Sea Calico is a Restricted sniper rifle skin with a yellow floral pattern over a dark teal base. In Factory New the yellow flowers stay sharp and saturated, and the dark background has no gaps or scratches. This is the cleanest way to see the full contrast of the calico print.

Item type: sniper rifle. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The handguard, receiver, pistol grip and cheek rest are covered in a dark teal hydrographic base with small yellow flowers and darker rosette shapes. The scope is painted bright yellow with dark round blossoms, making it the brightest part of the rifle.

The print is complete on every painted part, with no exposed metal. The yellow flowers stay crisp against the teal, and the scope keeps an even, bright finish. In game the rifle looks exactly like the preview image. The bare-metal parts are identical in every wear.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir SSG 08 | Sea Calico ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 14% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The St. Marc Collection with 18 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

Gold, yellow and dark green stickers continue the colour scheme naturally. Placement on the teal receiver panel keeps them close to the floral print without covering the bright scope.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float looks noticeably cleaner on the handguard edges.
• Inspect the scope rims and tube, as the yellow scope shows scratches more clearly than the teal body.
• On Souvenir copies, review the pre-applied stickers and decide whether they suit the teal and yellow scheme.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they change how the rifle reads in the inventory.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the full contrast of the floral print.
• Players planning a sticker craft on a clean surface.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who want the skin exactly as designed.
