AWP The Prince
(Battle-Scarred)About AWP The Prince
AWP The Prince is a covert AWP skin finished in deep red with extensive gold filigree engraved across the body, barrel, and scope housing. Its ornate, regal pattern gives the sniper rifle a more decorative look than most AWP finishes in CS2, setting The Prince apart with a design inspired by classical luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gold and red stickers fit this skin best because they match its filigree and deep crimson base. Good options include Crown (Foil), Gold Web (Foil), Team Dignitas (Holo) Cologne 2014, and FURIA (Gold) Stockholm 2021. If you want a cleaner craft, use one Crown on the scope or a 4x gold team-sticker setup to keep the color balance consistent.
AWP The Prince is a collection skin from The Canals Collection, so it does not come from a weapon case. In CS2, the practical ways to get it are buying it from the Steam Community Market or trading for it through third-party marketplaces and player-to-player trades. Since Canals is no longer an active drop source, new supply is limited compared with case skins.
AWP The Prince was released in November 2019 as part of the Operation Shattered Web update that added The Canals Collection drops. That release window matters because it places the skin in the same high-end collection era as AWP Gungnir and AK-47 Wild Lotus. Its age and limited collection supply are part of why it remains expensive.
Its price is driven by limited supply, since it comes from The Canals Collection rather than a mass-opened case, and by the fact that it is a Covert AWP with a recognizable red-and-gold finish. It also appeals to collectors who want top-tier collection skins alongside items like AWP Gungnir and Desert Eagle Emerald Jörmungandr. Because there is no StatTrak or Souvenir version, demand is concentrated into the standard skin.
