Souvenir XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Heaven Guard is a Restricted shotgun finish that pairs red paint and a subtle grey hydrographic pattern with white wing decals on the receiver and stock. In Factory New the red reads saturated and the wings keep crisp outlines, so the contrast between the dark barrel and the red body is at its sharpest. This is the version for buyers who want the artwork exactly as designed.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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 barrel and magazine tube are dark gunmetal, with a thin red stripe running along the top of the barrel toward the muzzle. The receiver is grey with a subtle hydrographic pattern and red splashes, and a white wing decal sits on its side above the grip.

The red is even and saturated on the pump, grip and stock, and the stripe along the barrel is unbroken. Both wing decals keep sharp edges and full white fill. In game the shotgun looks clean, with a strong split between the dark barrel and red body. The range starts slightly above the lowest floats, so even the best copies are rated rather than perfect.

Factory New wear: float 0.03–0.07

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

Red, white and silver stickers match the scheme, and winged or angel-themed designs echo the decals. Placing stickers on the grey receiver away from the wing decal keeps the artwork readable.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since low floats in each grade keep the red edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the wing decals on the receiver and stock, as they are the first detail to chip and define how the skin reads.
• Look at the pump ribs and grip edges, where bare metal shows first.
• Check stickers and name tags on the listing, as they change how the receiver side looks.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want crisp wing decals and saturated red.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a red-and-white build.
• The choice for buyers who want the design without compromise.
