Souvenir Tec-9 | Brother (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This copy of Tec-9 | Brother keeps the full warm palette: gold receiver, brown camo patches, grey grip and a magazine with red bands. Minimal Wear shows little beyond fine marks that are hard to spot without inspecting the model. For most players it looks the same as a fresh copy in hand.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Small specks can appear on the sharpest receiver edges and the base of the magazine. The camo pattern and the agent face remain complete. At normal distance in game the finish reads as clean. Grip inserts and the barrel shroud stay intact.

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, 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 look at before you buy

• 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 should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a clean look while paying less than for Factory New.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A sensible near-mint option.
