Souvenir XM1014 | Charter (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin is recognisable by its tan Magna Carta script and crests laid over a dark brown-olive base, with the pump and stock left in plain dark tones. A Well-Worn copy has noticeably faded text on the barrel and receiver edges, giving the shotgun a weathered, archival feel. It keeps the theme readable at a distance while looking clearly used.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

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 muzzle and barrel edges have lost much of the tan print, and the receiver rail looks heavily scuffed. Wear spreads onto the raised parts of the magazine tube, breaking up the crests. In game the weapon reads as a darker, faded shotgun with the text theme still recognisable. The middle of the receiver sides holds the clearest remaining lettering.

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 check before buying

• 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 Well-Worn

• Budget buyers who still want the theme recognisable from a distance.
• Players who like a weathered, archival look on their weapon.
• Conclusion: an inexpensive option with character.
