This is a part of a pair of G3-C gloves worn by Walter "Wally" Schirra, Jr. during training of the Gemini program. These gloves were originally constructed by the B. F. Goodrich Company, but were modified for Gemini use by the David Clark Company. The gloves were equipped with finger-lights on the first two fingers of each hand to assist the astronauts during maneuvers in limited light conditions.

The gloves were constructed from HT (high temperature) nylon and have a strap and buckle adjustment around the wrist and palm, and the red and blue anodized aluminum wrist disconnects. There is a steel palm bar in between the layers of the gloves. The adjustable straps and palm bar were used to retain the shape of the pressurized glove on the hand.

NASA transferred these gloves to the Museum at the end of the Apollo Program.
