Designed to fit on the right hand of a left-handed pitcher, the glove is light brown and well oiled leather with a perfect pocket crease. Visible in the image are the multiple locations where Koufax wrote his jersey number, 32. The marking is faded but can be seen on the Rawlings label by the opening of the glove, and above the finer opening as well.
Also visible in the image are the original manufacturer markings. The glove reads;
"EDGE - U - CATED HEEL
