Ha ha ha ha! No.
Saxton Hale, in response to Miss Pauling when asked about new weapons for the mercenaries.

Added in the Gun Mettle Update, Decorated weapons are unique items with a skin, an exterior quality, a rarity factor, and possible Strange counter and/or Unusual effect.

The Decorated quality is an item quality assigned to weapons which are obtained from contracts or opening weapon cases. This quality includes 6 levels of rarity, referred to as Grades : Civilian, Freelance, Mercenary, Commando, Assassin, and Elite. It also has an exterior quality, which ranges from Factory-New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. The exterior quality decreases from the perfect Factory-New, to the extremely worn Battle-Scarred. When equipping a weapon of this quality, the player can press the inspect key (Default key: F) to play an interruptible animation which examines the weapon from multiple angles, usually two (only visible in First Person). Grade and exterior factors are purely cosmetic, and do not effect gameplay whatsoever.

Decorated weapons unboxed from weapon cases have a chance to be Strange, a rarer chance to be Unusual, and an extremely rare chance to be both. The Strange variant adds a clock to the side of the weapon, meant to count kills, or ÜberCharges in case of the Medi Gun. The Unusual variant adds a particle effect to the weapon, typically at the end of, or on the barrel of the weapon. When the item is both Strange and Unusual, both the clock and visual effects are shown.

When mousing over a weapon of the Decorated quality, a window will appear showing a rotating model of the weapon, its details, and a list of the collection it is included in. This is similar to the windows which appear when mousing over any other non-decorated item in the player's backpack, except the window is slightly different and usually appears to the right of the cursor.

The decorations and exterior qualities do not appear when running the game with dxlevel -80 or dxlevel -81. Instead of showing the decorations, they only appear as their stock counterpart. When running the game in these DirectX levels, the descriptions of Decorated weapons change, adding the extra line: "You are in DirectX 8, decorated weapons are incompatible and show as stock". Upon checkout at the Mann Co. Store, having a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass in the cart will cause the game to show a message warning the player that Decorated weapons do not work on DirectX 8.

In-game, there are multiple hexadecimal quality colors for Decorated weapons, all dependent on the grade of said weapons. On the Steam Community Market, regardless of grade, the hexadecimal color code for Decorated weapons is #FAFAFA.
