Souvenir XM1014 | Charter (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Charter covers the shotgun's barrel, magazine tube and receiver with a dark olive-brown base printed with tan crests, scrawls and lines of Magna Carta text. In Factory New the tan script stays crisp and the dark ground keeps an even tone, so the document motif reads clearly up close. It suits a buyer who wants this muted, archival look exactly as designed.

Item type: shotgun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The barrel and the magazine tube beneath it are fully covered with a dark olive-brown base carrying tan crests, flourishes and lines of handwritten text. The same pattern continues across the side and top of the receiver, while the ribbed pump handguard stays a plain dark grey-brown.

The tan crests and script are sharp along the whole barrel and receiver, with no breaks in the lettering. The dark base has a uniform tone from muzzle to receiver. In game the weapon looks clean and evenly patterned. Every part, including the muzzle and rail edges, is untouched.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir XM1014 | Charter is 0–0.65; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (11% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What it costs in each quality

Among 6 skins of the XM1014 in the Consumer Grade grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

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

Stickers in tan, gold, brown or muted red match the parchment-and-ink theme of the pattern. Placing them on the plain pump handguard or the receiver side keeps the barrel script uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in a worn grade keeps noticeably more script on the barrel.
• Inspect the muzzle and the receiver rail first, as these parts lose the tan print earliest.
• If you consider a Souvenir copy, look at which stickers it carries and how they sit on the receiver.
• Look at the name tag and any applied stickers, because they change how the calm document pattern reads.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the crests and script fully intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean, even base for a themed build.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who value detail over savings.
