AK-47 | Baroque Purple (Well-Worn)

The AK-47 | Baroque Purple in Well-Worn (WW) has a float from 0.38 to 0.45, a narrow band of seven hundredths. It is an Industrial Grade rifle from The Canals Collection, and of the skin's wears, Well-Worn turns out to be the cheapest.

What the AK-47 | Baroque Purple looks like in Well-Worn

The rifle is covered in a thick wallpaper ornament in the manner of damask. Small curls and floral medallions run across the handguard, receiver side, grip and stock. The palette is cool, with a graphite-gray ground and a light gray pattern. There is no purple at all.

The barrel, gas tube, magazine and front sight stay an even dark, and the top cover is clean. Up close you notice leaves, speckled grain between the curls, rivets and a small inscription that cannot be made out.

Well-Worn leaves the pattern faded: on the ridges of the handguard and stock it nearly disappears, and a grainy gray surface remains. The light ornament is the first to lose contrast against the dark ground.

Where the AK-47 | Baroque Purple came from

The Canals Collection came out on November 19, 2019, and the skin has been in it from day one. Valve released four new collections then: Norse, St. Marc, Canals and Shattered Web, and the update note is tied to the Shattered Web operation. We cannot name the skin's author.
