Provenance:
Dating from around 1972/3 this wee pair of gloves belonged to our founder member, Mick Tighe. He was part of the Royal Marine Biathlon (skiing and shooting) Team back then and these were his racing gloves – just warm enough when skiing and thin enough to work the rifle trigger when shooting. You’ll find some of Mick’s other racing gear elsewhere in the collection.
