What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir M4A1-S | Boreal Forest (Well-Worn, WW) is the Souvenir copy of this skin — the same Industrial Grade finish, handed out in a souvenir package at a Major rather than pulled from a case. At heart the Boreal Forest is a Valve design built around a woodland mood — gray and green tones printed as a forest camouflage hydrographic that threads forest motifs through the M4A1-S. Well-Worn runs 0.38–0.45 on the float scale and shows its age plainly across the finish, which is what keeps it affordable.

What the stickers do to the price of the M4A1-S | Boreal Forest

A souvenir copy exists only because someone opened a souvenir package during a Major. It comes with up to four stickers tied to one specific match — the two line-ups, the MVP of that match and the event logo — and those stickers are permanent. A Souvenir skin is never StatTrak™ — the two are mutually exclusive.

Where it comes from

What a souvenir copy is worth depends less on the finish than on whose stickers it carries. A legendary player or a famous final pushes a copy well above the plain version; an anonymous match leaves it close to one.

FAQ

The Boreal Forest is one of The Italy Collection skins, brought in by the "Out with the old, in with the new" update in November 2013.

Can a Souvenir M4A1-S | Boreal Forest be StatTrak?

No. Souvenir and StatTrak™ are mutually exclusive — a copy is one or the other, never both, and neither can be added to a skin after it drops.

Can the stickers be removed from a Souvenir M4A1-S | Boreal Forest?

No. Souvenir stickers are part of the copy and cannot be scraped off, unlike stickers a player applies themselves. That is why two souvenir copies of one skin at the same exterior can be priced far apart.
