What makes a copy Souvenir

The Souvenir Nova | Walnut (Factory New, FN) is the Souvenir copy of this skin — the same Consumer Grade finish, handed out in a souvenir package at a Major rather than pulled from a case. Walnut swaps the Nova's usual synthetic look for a figured walnut stock, a classic wood-grain finish in warm browns that reads more like a hunting shotgun than a tactical one. Factory New is the cleanest grade this skin comes in and the one buyers pay the most for, covering the 0.00–0.07 band of the float scale.

What the stickers do to the price of the Nova | Walnut

These copies come out of souvenir packages handed to people watching a Major, not out of a case. Each one arrives wearing up to four stickers from the match that produced it: both teams, the MVP and the tournament, fixed in place from the moment it drops. A Souvenir skin is never StatTrak™ — the two are mutually exclusive.

Where it comes from

Price here is mostly a sticker question. Two souvenir copies of the same skin at the same exterior can sit far apart because one came from a memorable match and the other did not — check the stickers on a listing before comparing figures.

FAQ

This finish belongs to The Inferno Collection, introduced with the original "Arms Deal" update in August 2013.

Can a Souvenir Nova | Walnut 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 Nova | Walnut?

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.
