Souvenir Tec-9 | Brother (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Brother is a Restricted Gunsmith finish in brown and gold camo, with a black perforated barrel shroud and a Terrorist agent's face near the rear sight. In Factory New the gold layer on the receiver is even and the camo edges are crisp. The small agent detail is fully intact and easy to make out.

Item type: pistol. 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.

The remaining 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 receiver is painted gold-ochre with brown camo patches and engraved lettering on the side. The barrel shroud and top rail are black, the shroud perforated with round holes along its length.

The gold receiver, brown camo and agent face are clean with no visible marks. Edges of the receiver and trigger guard keep full colour. In game the pistol shows bright, even gold against the black shroud. Everything, including the red magazine bands, looks untouched.

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 black stickers blend with the camo, and red accents echo the magazine bands. Placements on the gold receiver side stand out best against the warm base.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float keeps the receiver edges noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the agent face under the rear sight, as it is one of the first details to lose clarity.
• Inspect the trigger guard, grip ridges and magazine base, which wear first on this finish.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag to make sure they suit your taste.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the camo and agent face fully intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean gold base.
• The choice for buyers who want this skin at its best.
