Souvenir Galil AR | Sage Spray (Stridsärrad)

The Souvenir Galil AR | Sage Spray is a minimalistic, military looking skin with a sand coloured body, decorated with small floral motifs. This skin is a part of the Baggage Collection and was introduced to the game in April 2013.

Classified as 'Industrial Grade' rarity, this skin is therefore relatively common in case drops. However, its 'Souvenir' aspect elevates its rarity and makes it more sought after.

The Souvenir Galil AR | Sage Spray was added to CS:GO in the Armory update in spring 2013. It came as a part of the original set of weapon skins, paving the way for the CS:GO skin market.

This skin is specifically designed for the Galil AR assault rifle.

The design doesn't boast of loud colours or fancy art, instead it subtly sings praise to nature with its tiny painted flowers on the surface.

DreamHack Winter 2013 holds a special memory as the Souvenir Galil AR | Sage Spray was featured in the Souvenir package in the event.
