Souvenir XM1014 | Red Leather (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Red Leather is a Mil-Spec Grade shotgun finish that wraps the forend, grip and stock in red leather with stitched seams, while the receiver and barrel stay dark gunmetal. In Factory New the leather keeps its full deep red and the stitching lines stay crisp, so the contrast between the red wrap and the dark metal is at its sharpest.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, barrel and magazine tube are left in dark gunmetal with a matte, slightly olive tone. The pump forend is wrapped in red leather with vertical stitched lines, and the end cap of the magazine tube is red as well.

The red leather is fully saturated on the forend, grip and stock, and the stitching lines are sharp. The dark receiver and barrel show no marks. In game the skin reads as clean red sections on a dark body. Every part of the weapon looks untouched.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir XM1014 | Red Leather is 0–0.56; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (13% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir XM1014 | Red Leather belongs to The Baggage Collection, which holds 15 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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

Red, black and gold stickers match the leather wrap and dark metal best. Placements on the dark receiver stand out cleanly, while red stickers near the forend blend into the leather theme.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the forend edges and stock corners show the difference first.
• Inspect the grip ridges and the front of the forend, where scuffs on the red leather appear earliest.
• The skin has no pattern variation, so focus on wear rather than pattern.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the clean red-and-dark look.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the leather at its deepest red with crisp stitching.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark receiver as a base.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who want the finish exactly as designed.
