Souvenir Tec-9 | Brass (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin is built around one idea: a Tec-9 with brass parts on an otherwise grey body. In Well-Worn the shroud has lost much of its even shine, the rims of the holes and the edges are scuffed, and the colour turns darker and patchier. It still reads as brass in game, just aged brass.

Item type: pistol. 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 Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The finish is concentrated on the front of the weapon: the perforated barrel shroud is coloured in an olive-gold brass tone with round holes along its length. A thin brass rail runs along the top of the shroud, and the cocking knob is brass as well.

Most of the shroud is darkened and patchy, with clear scuffs on the edges and hole rims. The rail and cocking knob are visibly rubbed. The receiver and magazine show noticeable scratches. In game the brass reads as dull aged metal, and the contrast with the grey becomes softer.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The float of Souvenir Tec-9 | Brass ranges from 0 to 1; the Well-Worn quality covers 0.38–0.45 — 7% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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, brown and olive stickers continue the brass theme, while black or dark grey ones sit calmly on the grey receiver. Placing stickers on the flat side of the receiver keeps the perforated shroud uncovered as the main detail.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the patina on the shroud changes noticeably between the cleaner and dirtier ends of a grade.
• Inspect the shroud edges, hole rims and cocking knob, as they are the first parts to darken.
• Look at the applied stickers and name tag, and note that Souvenir copies of this skin exist.
• Compare a few listings in inspect view, because the patchiness of the brass can differ between copies of the same wear.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Players on a budget who still want visible brass on their Tec-9.
• Fans of aged metal looks who do not mind scuffs.
• Conclusion: a cheaper way to the theme with a noticeably older finish.
