Two identical TF2 items with different levels? [duplicate]
By Joseph Russell •
I discovered two items with different levels. They have identical names, symbols, and descriptions in my backpack:
Why are the levels different? Are the items identical? If there is a difference, what is it?

According to TF2 Wiki:
The majority of items in Team Fortress 2 have levels associated with them. Levels, viewed with the item name in the loadout menu, are purely cosmetic and do not modify the effectiveness of any weapon or item.
The item level is purely cosmetic. It serves no other purpose. So basically, yes these weapons are the same.
