If you’re building an Anubis-themed loadout or just want a weapon skin that reads clearly from across the map, Eye of Horus is the kind of piece people notice first. It’s a legendary gunsmith finish in the Anubis Collection: white base, gold accents, and the falcon-headed god Horus laid over the body. Valve’s own pitch is basically “make it pop”—and in practice that means contrast and symbol, not subtle camo.

Before you spend anything, nail the basics: April 24, 2023 launch with the Anubis Collection package, Valve as designer, float 0.0–0.7, and the usual paths (packs, souvenirs, then player listings).

Where it comes from

• Main route: Anubis Collection package, same day as release (2023-04-24).
• Souvenir angle: Major Anubis Souvenir Packages also pull from Anubis Collection content—think Paris 2023, Copenhagen 2024, Shanghai 2024, Austin 2025.
• Secondary market: Steam Community Market and C5GAME listings are player-to-player. Always match the seller’s story (which pack era, float band) to what you see in inspect.

What you’re actually buying

| Collection | Anubis |

Gunsmith metal layers and hard color breaks wear visibly. Factory-new and low float tend to keep that clean platinum-white plus sharp gold lines. Higher float usually shows polish and greying on corners, rails, and raised edges—Horus silhouettes can look “cut” if wear hits the wrong panels.

Inspect checklist (do this, not just the thumbnail)

1. Horus placement — Is the main figure centered and fully readable on your copy?
2. Gold linework — Continuous strokes beat broken, washed-out segments.
3. Float band — Want museum white-gold? Aim low. Okay with battle scars? Still avoid patterns where myth details are sanded through.
4. Sticker plan — Cold white / gold Anubis stickers sit in the same visual language; don’t clutter the god motif unless that’s the vibe you want.

Shopping verdict

Worth it if you care about theme cohesion (Anubis flex), strong color contrast, and a gunsmith finish that still looks premium at lower wear.

Think twice if you need a cheap beater—0.7 exists, but this skin is paying for clarity; a rough float defeats the point.

Buy smart: Inspect in-game, compare float to price, and on C5GAME or Steam verify listing screenshots against live inspect. Souvenir claims should line up with the seller description.

Editor’s aside: Legendary gunsmith in a collection people still open for souvenirs means supply isn’t “one and done.” Price swings with Major cycles and pack hype—patience on a clean low-float copy often beats panic-buying the first pretty thumbnail.
