Neil Armstrong’s training glove. Glove measures 16.5” long with beta cloth covering the outside over a more rigid metalic inside. Sewn into the cuff of the glove is an International Latex Corporation label with typed information as follows: “CP2001 Glove Assy EV, Left A7L-203000-11; Model No. 2001A; Size: N. Armstrong; Serial 008; Date: 4/68; Contract No: NAS 9-610074897.” The label also bears several red felt tip lines through it.

The A7L suit was the final suit design for the Apollo program. This particular example, made specifically for Armstrong from a mold of his hand, would have to be one of the final mock-ups prior to launch and replicated the EVA pressure suit glove—the same one that would have been used on the surface. Designed to withstand the rigors of travel in space, the modern materials used in such artifacts have deterioration over the years, making this relatively well-kept exemplar a true scarcity!
