Souvenir UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth (Factory New)

Skin overview

UMP-45 | Gold Bismuth is a Restricted SMG finish that sets a dark band of stepped gold lines between a white upper body and a black middle section. In Factory New the thin gold steps stay sharp against the black, and the white stock and magazine look even and unmarked. This is the grade for buyers who want the crystal motif exactly as designed.

Item type: smg. 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.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The upper receiver, top rail and skeleton stock are painted a light grey-white, while the middle of the receiver is black with a band of fine stepped gold lines that imitates bismuth crystals. The handguard rail, muzzle, charging handle and selector are picked out in gold, tying the accents to the pattern.

The white receiver, stock and magazine are even and free of marks. The gold steps on the black band have clean edges, and the gold rail and muzzle look solid. In game the contrast between white, black and gold is at its sharpest.

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, holo-gold or black-and-white stickers match the scheme best. Placing them on the light grey magazine or the white upper body gives the most contrast, while bright unrelated colours tend to clash with the restrained palette.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the white parts show wear more readily than the dark centre.
• Inspect the top edge of the receiver, the stock frame and the bottom of the magazine, as these wear first.
• Look at the gold rail and muzzle to see how much of the accent colour is left.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether a StatTrak™ version suits you better.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the white and gold parts without marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean light base.
• Players who use the UMP-45 often and look at it every round.
• In short: the choice for a flawless example.
