Description

Early variant of the Apollo A7L space suit glove

Earlier variant of a left-handed A7L space suit glove, featuring an ILC label sewn inside the gauntlet, reading: "Item: CP2001 Glove Assy, EV, Left, A7L-203000-0103, Model No. 2001A, Size Special, Serial 004, Date 1/68, Contract No. NAS 9-6100, 74897." The glove is complete with its internal latex pressure glove, which has substantially deteriorated, and external Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG) cover designed to protect the glove during extravehicular activities. In very good to fine condition, with light overall wear and aforementioned deterioration to the internal pressure glove.

This variant of the A7L glove was the last of this particular Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment (TMG) configuration. A new style was made for Apollo 9 and the following missions. The newer gloves had blue silicone fingertips and the gauntlet would be cut shorter in order to expose the pressure relief valve and the pressure gauge located on the lower arms. A superb, early example of an A7L glove.
