Souvenir AK-47 | Case Hardened (Battle-Scarred)

The AK-47 | Case Hardened commands premium prices due to several factors: It belongs to The Arms Deal Collection and can be unboxed from the CS:GO Weapon Case. The Case Hardened finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.

Battle-Scarred covers float values from 0.44 to 1.00 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.00-1.00, so its Battle-Scarred copies sit between 0.44 and 1.00. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Battle-Scarred copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Battle-Scarred is quoted at about $619.72 and the Well-Worn at about $326.38, so the Battle-Scarred costs 90% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game.
