With any amount of wear, the markings wore off, and these examples are rarely seen with the original factory stamping.

On the reverse the cloth Reach patch is 100% intact and remains in near mint condition. The wrist strap and “REACH” button are also fully intact and remain in excellent condition. Glove is outlined in leather piping, which is fully intact, but shows evidence of storage wear in some places.
The white buckskin leather remains in extremely high grade near mint condition. An extremely rare glove when found in this high grade condition. One of the finest examples known.
