About AWP | Dragon Lore
The AWP | Dragon Lore in Minimal Wear is the second-most-prestigious wear tier of CS2's most iconic AWP. With wear values 0.07-0.15, MW specimens retain ~95% of FN visual quality at meaningfully lower entry pricing — currently $11,400 vs FN's $13,100. For collectors who want a Dragon Lore but find FN pricing prohibitive, MW is the standard "serious collector" tier.
Visual Differences vs FN: At MW float values, the dragon's hand-illustrated detail remains crisp; the gold accent work on the receiver shows minimal distress. Only at very-close inspect distances do collectors notice the subtle texture aging that distinguishes MW from FN. In gameplay use, MW and FN look effectively identical.
Supply: MW Dragon Lore supply is wider than FN — approximately 14% of total ~4,200 active Dragon Lores are MW (~580 specimens). This is still extremely rare in absolute terms, but provides a slightly more liquid market than the ~340-strong FN segment.
Market position: MW Dragon Lore appreciation tracks FN closely (+8-12% per year through 2025-2026) but at a discount of $1,500-2,000. For collectors prioritizing absolute prestige, MW is the most cost-effective Dragon Lore wear tier — significantly less than FN, vastly more visually distinct than FT or below.
