StatTrak™ Dual Berettas | Dualing Dragons (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This skin is recognised by its ornate silver dragon engraving on dark slides and barrels, set off by reddish wood grips with a dragon inlay. At Minimal Wear the look is almost indistinguishable from a fresh copy in normal play, with only faint marks visible on close inspection. It keeps the engraved, ceremonial character of the finish at a lower grade.

Item type: pistol. 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: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

Both slides and barrels are dark gunmetal grey, almost fully covered in pale silver engraving of coiling dragons with fine scale and flame detail, matching the laser-etched dragons mentioned in the description. The grips are a warm red-brown wood with visible grain, each carrying a round silver dragon emblem and small dark screws.

Small specks can appear on the very tips of the muzzles and the top corners of the slides. The engraving itself stays intact and the grips remain clean. In game the difference from Factory New is practically invisible at normal distance. It is a way to get the full look at a lower grade.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

Stickers and crafts

Silver, black and red-brown stickers echo the engraving and the wood, while gold or holo stickers suit the ornate dragon theme. Placing them on the wooden grips or lower slide keeps the etched dragons visible.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the engraving on the top of the slides degrades quickly as wear grows.
• Inspect the muzzles and top slide edges, which lose the finish first.
• Look at applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the busy engraving reads.
• Confirm whether you are buying the StatTrak™ or Souvenir version if that matters to you.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-new look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafts where small edge marks will not be noticed.
• A sensible balance of appearance and cost.
