Shop verdict: Treat weapon | Baroque Orange as a theme piece, not a flex skin. If you want a readable red-and-gold baroque look on the weapon and you’re building around Canal Heist, it’s a solid pick when the listing matches what you saw in inspect. If you only care about resale hype, skip it—this line lives on wear clarity and pattern luck, not on rarity alone.

What you’re actually buying

• Collection: Canal Heist (Valve official set)
• Finish: Multicolor electroplating
• Rarity: Mythical
• Wear range: 0.0–0.5
• Release: November 18, 2019, alongside Operation Shattered Web

Valve’s pitch is straightforward: custom paint with complex Italian-style red and gold filigree. The Last Supper nod in the flavor text is mood, not a separate graphic layer—don’t hunt for a hidden mural.

Inspect first (non‑negotiable)

Electroplating skins often pop harder in the inspect view than you expect from thumbnails. Spin the weapon in-game and check:

1. Red vs gold balance — wide-angle readability comes from how much crimson surface you get versus bright gold trim.
2. Filigree placement — baroque skins are placement-sensitive; two “same float” listings can look like different skins.
3. Metal read — look for layered sheen on edges; if it looks flat in inspect, it’ll look flat in matches.

Wear: why 0.5 matters

With a 0.5 cap, high-wear copies darken fast and lose fine gold line work. Practical tiers:

| Priority | Wear band | What to expect |
|----------|-----------|----------------|
| Showcase / set photo | ~0.00–0.10 | Sharpest gold, richest red |
| Daily play, still clean | ~0.10–0.25 | Some softening, usually acceptable |
| Budget filler | ~0.25–0.38 | Red may muddy; gold edges blur |
| Only if cheap | ~0.38–0.50 | Theme silhouette only |

Always compare screenshots at the same lighting—market previews lie by angle.

Where to hunt listings

This skin drops from the Canal Heist collection, not a single famous case name. On C5GAME or Steam Community Market, filter by collection first; you’ll surface siblings for bundle pricing and spot overpriced one-offs faster than guessing translated skin names.

Pairing & display value

Within Canal Heist, the red-gold baroque lane is one of the easier motifs to recognize at distance—good for a unified loadout wall or trade-up showcase. It’s 2019 Shattered Web era: pricing often stacks by float, so a “good deal” is usually clean wear + pattern you like, not the lowest number on the page.

Expert mutterings

I’ve passed on “FN” listings because the gold crawled into the wrong panel—float worship without inspect is how you end up reselling at a loss. The Last Supper line is doing literary work; your job is to buy geometry, not poetry. If two prices are close, take the one with crisper gold under direct light even if it’s 0.02 float worse. And please, spin inspect before you cart—electroplating forgives nothing in macro screenshots.

Bottom line: Worth buying for Canal Heist collectors and anyone who wants baroque red-gold on the weapon at a wear tier you can see. Pass if you won’t inspect or if you need modern meta clout—this one pays off in curated sets, not chase hype.
